3.1 Estimate the 1998 cost of a process furnace that processes 150 million Btu/hr, constructed of
stainless steel, and operating at 2,200 psi. Explicitly state any additional assumptions you make.
1) Obtain base cost (Cb)
Cb= 350 000.00 USD

2) Get factors (Application, material, pressure)
Fd= 1.0
Fm= 0.75
Fp= 0.31
3) Calculate equipment cost.
Cfob= [Cb (Fd + Fm + Fp)]
Cfob= (350,000.00 USD)(1.0 + 0.75 + 0.31)=721 000.00 USD
4) Calculate bare module cost

Cmd= (Cb) (Fmd)
Cmd= (350,000 USD) (2.30)= 805,000.00 USD
5) Calculate cost of the adjusted module

Cmda= Cmd + (Cfob – Cb)
Cmda= (805,000.00) + (721,000.00 – 150,000.00)= 1,176,000.00 USD
6) Calculation of the equipment to be updated.

Updated oven cost = Cmda (1998 index/ 1968 index)*(1.15)
Updated oven cost = 1,176,000.00 USD (389.5/ 113.7)*(1.15)
Updated oven cost = 4,632,391.82 USD

Cmd= (1,000 USD) (4.34)= 4,340.00 USD

Cmda= (4,340.00) + (1,000.00 – 1,000.00)= 4,340.00 USD

Updated oven cost = 4,340.00 USD (390.6/ 113.7)*(1.15)
Updated oven cost = 17,145.8628 USD
B) FLASH SEPARATOR.
Cb= 2 000.00 USD
Fm= 1.00

Cfob= [(Cb) (Fm) (Fp)]
Cfob= (2,000.00 USD)(1.0)(1.0)= 2,000.00 USD
Cmd= (Cb) (Fmd)

Cmd= (2,000.00 USD) (4.34)= 8,680.00 USD

Cmda= (4,340.00) + (2,000.00 –2,000.00)= 8,680.00 USD

C) TUBE AND SHELL CONDENSER.
Cb= 3 000.00 USD

Fd= 0.85 Fm= 2.30 Fp= 0.00

Cfob= [(Cb) (Fd + Fp)* Fm]
Cfob= (3,000.00 USD)(0.85 + 0.00)(2.30)= 5,865.00 USD
Cmd= (Cb) (Fmd)

Cmd= (3,000.00 USD) (3.39)= 10,170.00 USD

Cmda= (10,170.00) + (5,865.00 –3,000.00)= 13,035.00 USD

3.4. For the process shown in Problem 3.3, an outside group has estimated that the
current investment is equivalent to $1 million. The process capacity is 1 KT/year
and 1.1 T of A is consumed for every T of B. The market price of B is 35 C/lb.
In the condenser, the cooling water inlet temperature is 25°C and the outlet
temperature is 40°C. The latent heat of B is 1000 BTU/lb. The cost of cooling
water is 5x 10 ala -4 $/lb.
The price of raw material A is being negotiated. What should be the

maximum price of A that the company can pay for the process to be
profitable? Use typical economic parameters.
process operation cost = raw material cost + service cost + .05inv
raw material cost:

coefficient 1.1 T/TP
cost 292.676031 $/T
ability 1000 T/YEAR
cost= 321943.634 $/year
cost of service 0.01785 $/hr 156.366 $/year
.05*inv 50000 $/year
Cost of operation: 372100
S=cap*sales= 772100 $/year
R=sc= 400000
inv= 1000000
net profit: P=R-ei-t(R-di)=P 150000 $/year

rate of return = p/inv 0.15

The maximum price for raw material A is 292.67 for the process to be profitable since it
was resolved by setting the objective of a 15% return rate for the process, and the cost of
raw material as a variable.

3.6. The flow diagram shown represents an alternative to produce ethanol through
fermentation:
The desired production of the ethanol stream is 100 x 10 ala 6 lb/year.
The concentration of ethanol at the outlet of the fermenter is 150g/L. For preliminary
estimation purposes it can be assumed that the fermenter outlet stream is a mixture of
ethanol and water.
a) Using the Guthrie method, estimate the investment of the main components of
the process (fermenter, column, condenser and boiler). Refer your estimate for
1990.
b) Estimate the sales price of the product. The cost of raw materials can be taken
as the cost of the substrate which is equivalent to 20 c/lb. The cost of steam is
1x10 -2 $/lb and that of cooling water is 5x10 -4 $/lb. The distillation column
operates at a reflux rate of 4 (on a mass basis).

A distillation column processes 120,000 lb/hr of an aqueous solution
containing 5% ammonia NH3 by weight, and produces a distillate flow of
3,000 lb/hr with a concentration of 20% by weight. Estimate the total
investment required for the three pieces of equipment in 1997. Explicitly
state any assumptions you make.
 Column data:
o Diameter 3.5ft; 8ft height; with 5 cap plates (or bells) with 1ft
spacing, and made of carbon steel.
 Kettle data:
o Area of 200ft^2, Kettle type, stainless steel for the tubes and
carbon steel for the shell.
 Capacitor data:
o Area of 2000 ft^2, tube and shell, monel for the tubes and carbon
steel for the shell.
Note: The distillation column itself is considered a process container,

therefore the data will be obtained from the graph that corresponds to the
process containers, taking into account the characteristics already
mentioned.
SOLUTION
3.8.1 Column estimation
1) Column base cost Cb= $2,000

EXERCISE 3.10
Calculate, using the Guthrie method, the cost in 1990 of a floating head heat
exchanger with an area of 1,000 ft 2 that will operate at moderate pressures,
constructed of carbon steel for the shell and Monel for the tubes.
Exchanger cost $= [Base cost (Fd+Fp)*Fm]
SOLUTION:
1) The base cost is found in Figure 3.3

“base cost of heat exchangers” according to the area of the exchanger.
Cb= $9,000
2) Adjustment factors are found according to the specifications of the
exchanger.
Fd= 1.0
Fp= 0.25 (assuming a moderate pressure of 400 psia)
Fm= 2.15
3) Equipment cost calculation
- Exchanger cost $= [base cost (Fd+Fp)*Fm]
Cfob=Cb ( Fd + Fp )∗Fm
Cfob=$ 9,000 ( 1.0+0.25 )∗2.15=$ 24187.5
4) Bare module cost
Cmd=Cb∗fmd
- Bare modulus factor for a heat exchanger fmd = 3.39
Cmd=$ 9,000∗3.39=$ 30,510

7.- Heat cascade

Euristic rule with Q=0
Therefore Qi+1=Qi+∆Hi
Q
T1=175°C ……………………………….0
∆H= -450 Kcal/Hr
T2=130°C ……………………………… -450 Kcal/Hr

∆H= 400 Kcal/Hr
T6=30 °C ……………………………… 150 Kcal/Hr
The data with the highest value, even if it has a sign (-), is known as the
minimum heating quantity QH Qh= 700 Btu/Hr
8.- Minimum cooling amount (Qc)

Euristic rule Qh=Qi

∆H= -375 Kcal/Hr
T5=50 °C ……………………………… 450 Kcal/Hr
∆H= 400 Kcal/Hr
T6=30 °C ……………………………… 850 Kcal/Hr
THEREFORE Qc= 825 Kcal/hr
9.- The minimum number of units required for each side of the network is estimated
with the following equation:
Umin= Nc + Ns-1
Where:
Umin: Number of exchangers
Nc: Number of currents involved
Nos: Number of Services
a) For the area above the break point or heating zone
Umin= 4 + 1= 4
b) For low breaking point zone or cooling zone
Umin= 2 + 1 – 1 = 2
10.- Thermal load of the first cooler
Q=∆T x wcp
Q= (10)x(120-65)= 550 Kcal/Hr
A) Thermal load of the second cooler
Q2= wcp x ∆T
Q2=(40) x (120-65)= 275 Kcal/Hr
11.- Above the fold point there are 2 Hot Currents and 2 Cold Currents, therefore
there are 2 possibilities to begin the design of the network
a) 1-4 and 2-3
b) 1-3 and 2-4
Note: To choose the appropriate exchanger, the following criterion must be met:
cold wcp ≥ hot wcp
1-3 = 20 > 10
2-4 = 40> 15
12.- the heat cascade is generated
Calculate Q= wcp x ∆T for each of the currents
Qc1= (10) (175-30) = 360 Kcl/Hr
Qc2= (40) (150-20) = 180 Kcl/Hr
Qf1= (20) (20-165) = 2160 Kcal/Hr
Qf2= (15) (15-120) = 700 Kcal/Hr
