Chemical Engineering Design - Principles, Practice and Economics of Plant and Process Design (Hardcover, 2nd edition)

" 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.
