Process Design Spreadsheets

Hi Friends !!

Here is another compilation of my precious collections - Process Design Spreadsheets. Now you don't have to butter some notorious bargainers for these. May be you have downloaded some of it from somewhere or from this forum elsewhere, but it gives me great pleasure to compile all these at one place. I did not delete the references of original makers of these spreadsheets, if it is there, so all the credit goes to original makers of these calculation spread sheets only.

Here is the list of contents : (Total size 2.813 MB)
