Engineering Economics
The choices a practicing engineer makes are
heavily influenced by the economics of the
project.
A project must produce products that are safe and
environmentally benign.
However, a safe and environmentally friendly
project will not be pursued if it is not economically
attractive.

Cost Estimation
A chemical engineer must be able to
estimate all costs associated with a
given process.

Cost Estimation
of Major Items of Equipment
1st stage in the preparation of a cost
estimate
SCALING using Cost Correlation Data
Log of Capital Cost of an Item is plotted
vs Log of capacity Parameter
Ex of Capacity Parameter: Volume, area,
power rating

Cost Estimation
Major Items of Equipment
Between m=0 and m=1,
there exists a range
where m is fairly
constant
m is called the Cost
