Handbook of Liquefied Natural Gas
I bought the book for its very generous content, and I confess that I was not at all disappointed. Even for subjects in which I consider I have a good expertise as Natural Gas Liquefaction (Chapter 3), Energy and Exergy Analysis of Natural Gas Liquefaction Cycles (Chapter 4), Natural Gas Liquefaction Cycle Enhancements and Optimization (Chapter 5), I found very interesting information. I enjoyed the graphics - very good schematics and suggestive graphs. I consider that LNG Handbook is very well, clear, and accessible written with detailed information for anyone involved or interested in this subject. I found in this book all I needed for this challenging and up to date subject. A book in equal measure interesting and useful for professionals in the LNG industry and graduate students. prof.
