为了在《化工设计》课程中开展双语教学，本书用英语介绍了化工设计中涉及的原理、规范、程序和方法，包括化工设计项目的可行性研究、厂址选择、工艺流程设计、物料衡算和能量衡算、化工设备的设计和选型、车间布置设计等设计内容，以及化工工艺设计中涉及的安全、环境及经济评价等问题。本书在编者多年从事《化工设计》课程双语教学的基础上，把国外及国内关于化工设计的主要内容进行了整合，从概念设计开始到项目的经济评价，用英语完整地介绍了化工设计中各个阶段的设计内容、原理及方法。本书结合了编者在国外高科技公司多年从事新产品开发的经验，在书中加入了新产品开发过程的内容，与化工新工艺设计的内容整合后，可以使学生更好地理解《化工设计》课程的主要内容。
