Mass and energy balances must be completed for each piece of equipment before detailed design can begin. A mass balance is done for each unit shown on the process flowsheet, while an energy balance is done over groups of units where energy is transferred between process fluids. Even at the design stage, some flowrates and temperatures may only be estimates. The mass and energy balances will need updating after detailed design is complete. Calculations are included as an appendix and provide details like mass flowrates, compositions, temperatures, pressures, and enthalpy contents of all streams.
