Suppose I want to draw a Heat Exchanger. The following are the steps and the methods I employ in Excel.

Make sure that the Excel Drawing Toolbar is inserted into your worksheet. You do this by clicking on View - Toolbars and checking the box next to "Drawing". Select the rectangle object in the Drawing toolbar and draw:

Next, select the oval object and draw:

Select both objects and make the Line Style thicker (2-1/4 points):

Draw two more rectangles (& make them thicker):

Join the two small rectangles, select the arrowhead pointer and draw an imaginary rectangle around the two; then click "Draw" & "Group". The two rectangles are now one.

Select the grouped rectangles and make a copy, placing them at the big rectangles ends:

Now, copy the oval (ellipsoid) and place the resulting two objects on each end of the large rectangle:

Select each ellipsoid and then "Draw" - "Order" - "Send to Back"; move the objects so they align with the "shell" of the heat exchanger. Note: to facilitate this close work, you can amplify the view by making the spreadsheet either 200% or 400% bigger.

Now draw a rectangle and make a copy of it also; zoom up to 200%;

Move the rectangles over the vertical seam on the two elliptical heads and position them so that they cover each vertical seam. Size them so that they fit just over the seam. Now with each rectangle selected, click on Format Autoshape - colors and lines - no line. This will make the rectangles invisible if they are ordered to the front of the object - which is normal.

Now you can make the nozzles and baffles to finish the object by drawing rectangle:

Form the nozzle with flange and hide the bottom line; place the baffle rectangle and select the dash style line.

Make copies of the flanged nozzle and place them where needed; you can rotate or orient the nozzles. You should "Group" your finished object so that you can move or copy it when needed.

Another neat thing that can be done in Excel Engineering sketches is that a liquid content can be easily depicted. For example, draw a storage tank:

Draw an isosceles triangle

Draw a rectangle

Join them together

4
Draw another rectangle (or copy the one above) and make it a lighter line; insert it at the bottom of the larger rectangle. You can use the "nudge" feature on the Draw menu to precisely position the piece where you want it. You can also use the "Zoom" feature to see the line detail better.

Now use the object "Fill" feature (after selecting the small object)

and select a color to fill in the object.

You can also fill in curved or odd-shaped objects by creating a closed object with the "freeform" line feature:

Draw the vessel object as you want 1- large rectangle 1- ellipsoid sent to the back 2 - small rectangles with "no lines" and put "forward" Now, select the freeform line from Autoshapes - Lines and draw the contents of the bottom of the tank in the form of an object:

Don't fret if you don't get the hang of it at the first attempt. No one does. You have to have practice. You also have to know that there is no way you can control your pulse to draw a perfectly curved line. Don't worry. Excel knows this and gives you the "edit points" feature which you bring up by right-clicking on the object and selecting the "edit points" feature. This allows you to "cheat" by pinching in the points given on the objects periphery and adjusting them so that they fit the curved portion that you want to outline. With enough practice, you can do this pretty decently. Don't forget to use the "Zoom" feature and do your point pinching with the object amplified so that you can clearly see what you are doing. Also, know that when you hold the shift key and click while drawing the freeform line, you draw a perfectly straight line. It's when you don't press any key and draw the line that you "freeform".

Another good technique that you can use to make things easier is to make your objects "oversized" and then simply reduce them by "squeezing-in" the outer boundaries of the objects after you select them - like the following:

Let's draw a distillation tower:

View - Toolbars

Now copy the previously constructed nozzles:

eadsheet either

Locate the nozzles on the vessel as needed.

Now any seams or other lines that are not needed can be "hidden" by overlaying a rectangle that has no li to it. The "Order" of the objects is the trick to hiding lines or parts of objects you don't need.

Simple Valve symbols are made by selecting Autoshapes and Basic Shapes such as the equilateral triangle:

This is copied and re-aligned to form:

Gate Valve To this you can add other objects and lines to produce:

Features of a Steam-heated Crude Unit: Engineering design and operability: Conventional, well-defined and existing technology; simple to operate and maintain; negligible corrosion w/ closed, gravity-return steam condensate cycle. Estimated as less than a direct-fired heater On-the-shelf, proven design and hardware; packaged boilers are frequently available as stock items; delivery and installation are commonly handled in a minimal of time as compared to custom-designed, engineered, fired equipment Crude oil firing instead of associated gas represents 0.2% of total crude production; however, unit can also fire gas when available. Steam heater is inherently safe; no fired hazard, no corrosion, no errosion; fired boiler can be sited away from process area; FileName: 179547665.xls.ms_office WorkSheet: Crude Steam Heater

Esta bomba es de tipo axial con caracteristicas de alta capacidad con poco cabezal. Un serpentin con agua de enfriamiento esta colocado dentro la carcasa de la bomba, y remueve el calor de la reaccion exotermica mientras la bomba circula aceite en circuito cerrado.

Agua de enfriamiento

El agua que se usa para enfriar el aceite proviene de una torre de enfriamiento y se introduce a un serpentin que se encuentra dentro el cuerpo de la bomba. Entre mas veloz corre la bomba, mayor va ser su numero de Reynolds y la transferencia de calor. La temperatura del reactor se controla con la velocidad de la bomba de aceite.

El reactor funciona practicamente lleno de aceite especial dentro la carcaza, entre el cuerpo cilindrico y los tubos, para lograr transferencia de calor. Este aceite protege la superficie de los tubos tanto como la de la carcasa, evitando su oxidacion. Si ocurre rotura de tubos, esto no presenta peligro o danyo a la operacion ya que si los quimicos entran a la carcasa, alli paran y no hay derrame. Si ocurre lo contrario y el aceite entra al proceso, tambien no presenta peligro. Todo lo que ocurre en ambos casos es que se contamina el proceso, cosa que no se considera mayor problema comparandose con un derrame, contaminacion del ambiente, o peor, contaminacion del personal.
