Description
??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,
