Description
This new edition of the most complete handbook for chemical and process engineers incorporates the latest information for engineers and
practitioners who depend on it as a working tool. New material explores the recent trends and updates of gas treating and fractionator
computer solutions analysis. Substantial additions to this edition include a new section on gasification that reflects the many new trends
and techniques in the field and a treatment on compressible fluid flow.
This convenient volume provides engineers with hundreds of common
sense techniques, shortcuts, and calculations to quickly and accurately solve day-to-day design, operations, and equipment problems.
Here, in a compact, easy-to-use format, are practical tips, handy formulas, correlations, curves, charts, tables, and shortcut methods
that will save engineers valuable time and effort.
