Difference between Block diagram, Flowsheet and Flow diagram

Click For Summary
Block diagrams provide a high-level overview of a system's components and their relationships, while flow diagrams detail the flow of materials and energy through a process. Flowsheets are more comprehensive, incorporating both block diagrams and flow diagrams to represent the entire process, including equipment and control systems. Each type serves a distinct purpose in process engineering, especially in chemical engineering, aiding in understanding and communication of complex systems. Useful resources for further information include various engineering websites and handbooks on process diagrams. Understanding these differences is crucial for effective process design and analysis.

I want to know the difference between Block diagram, Flowsheet and Flow diagram (in process engineering, especially in chemical engineering).

Also could anyone link me to some useful websites where I can get more details about all these?

Thanks in advance.

What mathematics software should engineering students use? Is it correct that much of the engineering industry relies on MATLAB, making it the tool many graduates will encounter in professional settings? How does SageMath compare? It is a free package that supports both numerical and symbolic computation and can be installed on various platforms. Could it become more widely used because it is freely available? I am an academic who has taught engineering mathematics, and taught the...
