Abstract
This chapter covers the concepts of process, process design and operation, and process variables. Process parameters herein include mole, density, specific gravity, specific volume, flow rate, fraction, concentration, temperature, pressure, and other thermodynamic properties of the materials. They play an important role in the quality of a process. Basic process calculations and their engineering applications will be introduced too. All these subjects are important to the analyses of mass and energy balances in the coming few chapters.
