All of these methods have been utilized to solve nonlinear programming problems in the field of chemical engineering design and operations (Lasdon and Waren, Oper. Res., 5, 34, 1980). Nonlinear programming is receiving increased usage in the area of real-time optimization.

It is usually the best practice to work through design calculations in the units in which the result is to be presented but, if working in SI units is preferred, data can be converted to SI units, the calculation made, and the result converted to whatever units are required. Conversion factors to the SI system from most of the scientific and engineering units used in chemical engineering design are given in Appendix D. 

Prepare a chemical engineering design of the second distillation unit, i.e. for the separation of n- and isobutyraldehyde. Make dimensioned sketches of the column, the reboiler and the condenser. 

Prepare a chemical engineering design of reactor (A) and either column (B) OR column (D). 

Prepare an outline design of the reactor and carry out the chemical engineering design of the stripper, specifying the interfacial contact area which will need to be provided between the carbon dioxide stream and the product stream to enable the necessary mass transfer to take place. 

Work out the full chemical engineering design of the reactor and cooler/scrubber systems. 

Give the detailed chemical engineering design, and give reasons for using the type chosen. Specify the method of control. 

Give the detailed chemical engineering design for the fluidness bed and heat transfer surfaces. Select a suitable heat transfer fluid and give reasons for your selection. Do not attempt to specify the filters or to design the condenser/cooler in detail.

The process engineer must design a plant for the current process solely on the basis of published information. After he has completed his study no one will perform experiments to verify his assumptions, since the company does not plan to use that process. He is on his own. This type of problem is excellent for chemical engineering design classes. Some of best sources of material for such exercises are given at the end of this chapter. 

A more recent process was developed by Biazzi and is somewhat similar in general principle to the Schmid process. It uses, however, improved chemical engineering designs and in this way is suited to operation by remote control.
