Engineer's perspective @Srikanth

R-717 is a refrigerant grade ammonia (N H 3 ) that's used in industrial refrigeration and air conditioning systems. What constitutes Ammonia? Ammonia, NH 3 , is a comparatively stable, colourless gas at ordinary temperatures, with a boiling point of -33℃ . Ammonia gas is lighter than air, with a density of approximately 0.6 times that of air at the same temperature.  The characteristic pungent odors of ammonia can be detected as low as 15ppm. Ammonia can be highly toxic to a wide range of organisms. In humans, the greatest risk is from inhalation of ammonia vapour, with effects including irritation and corrosive damage to skin, eyes and respiratory tracts. At very high levels, inhalation of ammonia vapour can be fatal. When dissolved in water, elevated levels of ammonia are also toxic to a wide range of aquatic organisms.  Ammonia is highly soluble in water, although solubility decreases rapidly with increased temperature. Ammonia reacts with water in reversible reaction ...

The discipline of chemical engineering design encompasses the integration of heat transfer, mass transfer, and thermodynamic principles, aiming to fulfill client specifications within financial constraints while simultaneously incorporating innovative advancements and creative endeavors. Design constraints This part offers a broad overview of the design process. While this page focuses on chemical engineering design, the techniques outlined here are relevant to other fields of engineering as well. Before commencing work, designers must gather clear and comprehensive requirements, and if these arise from external sources like customers or other departments, they need to clarify the true needs through discussion. The designer should continually assess the design requirements throughout the process and collaborate closely with sales or marketing to fully understand customer needs. Setting the Design basis The system of unit to be used. The national, local or company design codes that must...
