Spreadsheets
Chemical engineering technical problems often need to be tackled by calculation. There are many standard calculation methods - including estimation of pressure drops in pipelines and specification of process equipment (e.g. pumps). The advent of the spreadsheet is a powerful design tool which can be used to lay out standard methods in a format which can be used again and again. This section presents a number of process engineering calculations in MS Excel Spreadsheets.
