Design made easy

Article Abstract:

Engineers employed by chemical process industries usually rely on equipment-sizing and other related software to design simple plant equipment such as cooling towers and heat exchangers and valves. In complex projects such as those concerning front-end plant or fluid-flow system design, engineers turn to a more sophiticated software that fall under the the category of computational fluid dynamics.
