Heuristics Rules for Process Equipment
If applied with thought and care, heuristics like these can make life much easier during project scoping, process design, equipment specification and similar tasks
A. Durand, J. Miguel, G. Barroso, M. Garcia, and J. Angeles
Provided that they are updated when appropriate to keep them relevant, time-tested heuristics rules based upon experience, also referred to as rules of thumb, can be useful for the design, specifying and operation of several kinds of equipment...
