"Bottom line: For a holistic view of chemical
engineering design, this book provides as much, if not
more, than any other book available on the topic".
(Extract from Chemical Engineering Resources review).
"Chemical Engineering Design" is a complete course text
for students of chemical engineering. Written for the
Senior Design Course, and also suitable for introduction
to chemical engineering courses, it covers the basics of
unit operations and the latest aspects of process
design, equipment selection, plant and operating
economics, safety and loss prevention. It is a textbook
that students will want to keep through their
undergraduate education and on into their professional
lives. New to this edition: Revised organization into
Part I: Process Design, and Part II: Plant Design. The
broad themes of Part I are flowsheet development,
economic analysis, safety and environmental impact and
optimization. Part II contains chapters on equipment
design and selection that can be used as supplements to
a lecture course or as essential references for students
or practicing engineers working on design projects. This
title includes: new discussion of conceptual plant
design, flowsheet development and revamp design;
significantly increased coverage of capital cost
estimation, process costing and economics; and, new
chapters on equipment selection, reactor design and
solids handling processes. It also includes: new
sections on fermentation, adsorption, membrane
separations, ion exchange and chromatography; increased
coverage of batch processing, food, pharmaceutical and
biological processes; and, all equipment chapters in
Part II revised and updated with current information. it
is updated throughout for latest US codes and standards,
including API, ASME and ISA design codes and ANSI
standards. It features: additional worked examples and
homework problems; the most complete and up to date
coverage of equipment selection; 108 realistic
commercial design projects from diverse industries; and,
a rigorous pedagogy that assists learning, with detailed
worked examples, end of chapter exercises, plus
supporting data and Excel spreadsheet calculations plus
over 150 Patent References, for downloading from the
companion website. It includes extensive instructor
resources: 1170 lecture slides on CD plus fully worked
solutions manual available to adopting
instructors.
