Process equipment fundamentals -- Basic terms and conditions -- How trays work: flooding -- How trays work: dumping: weeping through tray decks -- Notes on tray design details -- Why control tower pressure: options for optimizing tower operating pressure -- What drives distillation towers: reboiler function -- How reboilers work: thermosyphon, gravity feed, and forced -- Inspecting tower internals -- How instruments work: levels, pressures, flows, and temperatures -- Packed towers: better than trays?: Packed-bed vapor and liquid distribution -- Steam and condensate systems: water hammer and condensate backup steam-side reboiler control -- Vapor lock and exchanger flooding in steam systems -- Bubble point and dew point: equilibrium concepts in vapor-liquid mixtures -- Steam strippers: source of latent heat of vaporization -- Draw-off nozzle hydraulics: nozzle cavitation due to lack of hydrostatic head -- Pumparounds and tower heat flows: closing the tower enthalpy balance -- Condensers and tower pressure control: hot-vapor bypass: flooded condenser control -- Air coolers: fin-fan coolers -- Thermodynamics: how it applies to process equipment -- Deaerators and steam systems: generating steam in boilers and BFW preparation -- Steam generation -- Vacuum systems: steam jet ejectors -- Steam turbines: use of horsepower valves and correct speed control -- Surface condensers: the condensing steam turbine -- Shell-and-tube heat exchangers: heat-transfer fouling resistance -- Heat exchanger innovations -- Shell-and-tube heat exchangers: design details -- Fired heaters: fire- and flue-gas side: draft and afterburn; optimizing excess air -- Fired heaters: process side: coking furnace tubes and tube failures -- Refrigeration systems: an introduction to centrifugal compressors -- Cooling water systems -- Catalytic effects: equilibrium and kinetics -- Centrifugal pumps: fundamentals of operation: head, flow, and pressure -- Centrifugal pumps: driver limits: electric motors and steam turbines -- Centrifugal pumps: suction pressure limits: cavitation and net positive suction head -- Centrifugal pumps: reducing seal and bearing failures -- Control valves -- Separators: vapor-hydrocarbon-water: liquid settling rates -- Gas compression: the basic idea: the second law of thermodynamics made easy -- Centrifugal compressors and surge: overamping the motor driver -- Reciprocating compressors: the Carnot cycle; use of indicator card -- Compressor efficiency: effect on driver load -- Safety concerns: relief valves, corrosion, and safety trips -- Relief valve system design -- Corrosion-process units -- Waste water strippers -- Fluid flow in pipes: basic ideas to evaluate Newtonian and non-Newtonian flow -- Super-fractionation separation stage -- Hand calculations for distillation towers: vapor-liquid equilibrium, absorption, and stripping calculations -- Computer modeling and control -- Field troubleshooting process problems.
