Almost any design involves calculations, ranging from scoping estimates to detailed sizing calculations. Whilst style is a matter of personal taste, this article gives a few pointers on how to prepare process engineering calculations.

This article describes how to calculate liquid hold-up in partially filled horizontal vessels – including in ones with domed ends.

Calculation of the bubble and dew points of a mixture is key to the understanding of distillation columns.  This article describes how to calculate bubble and dew points for ideal mixtures.

The Ideal Gas Equation is one of the most common equations found in chemical engineering.  When can it be used and when is a more sophisticated equation required?

Process engineers working in the nuclear industry sometimes need to calculate rates of radioactive decay.  This article explains how to do this.
