This note emphasizes on the development of design
skills among the students to take design related decisions. Whatever be the
earlier conception, today a chemical engineer is expected to be able to make
complete design of a piece of chemical equipment. This note will be very useful
to undergraduate students and practitioners. A number of problems will be solved
to illustrate the concepts clearly.
