  2. Chemical engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_engineering

    Chemical engineers design, construct, and operate process plants, such as these fractionating columns. Chemical engineering is an engineering field which deals with the study of the operation and design of chemical plants as well as methods of improving production. Chemical engineers develop economical commercial processes to convert raw ...

    A closing trap. The Venus flytrap can count to two and five in order to trap and then digest its prey. [1] [2]The Venus flytrap is a carnivorous plant that catches its prey with a trapping structure formed by the terminal portion of each of the plant's leaves, which is triggered by tiny hairs on their inner surfaces.

  4. Piping and instrumentation diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piping_and_instrumentation...

    P&IDs are originally drawn up at the design stage from a combination of process flow sheet data, the mechanical process equipment design, and the instrumentation engineering design. During the design stage, the diagram also provides the basis for the development of system control schemes, allowing for further safety and operational ...

  5. Process design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Process_design

    In chemical engineering, process design is the choice and sequencing of units for desired physical and/or chemical transformation of materials. Process design is central to chemical engineering, and it can be considered to be the summit of that field, bringing together all of the field's components.

  6. Process flow diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Process_flow_diagram

    A process flow diagram (PFD) is a diagram commonly used in chemical and process engineering to indicate the general flow of plant processes and equipment. The PFD displays the relationship between major equipment of a plant facility and does not show minor details such as piping details and designations.
