This handbook makes it easy to solve chemical engineering problems quickly and accurately using step-by-step procedures for performing a wide array of chemical engineering calculations together with worked out examples and numerical results.
Revised and expanded, Handbook of Chemical Engineering Calculations, Fourth Edition shows how to solve the main process-related problems that often crop up in chemical engineering practice. By following the calculation procedures presented, engineers will be able to obtain accurate results with minimum time and effort. The new calculation procedures reflect the recent changes in “green” and environmental outlooks that have taken place throughout the world, particularly in relation to chemical plants and pollution.
New coverage in the Fourth Edition:
- “Green” operations to prevent atmospheric, water, and soil pollution by chemical plants in all areas of the world
- Environmental considerations in plant design
- Sanitary wastewater treatment and control
- With the greater emphasis on greenhouse gas emissions, carbon dioxide emissions and release, and clean-air environmental compliance, calculations are presented to show how to control these variables
- New calculations show how, and where, energy can be conserved and reused to reduce fuel consumption and operating costs
- Calculations-related codes and regulations help the plant designer and operator comply with the stricter requirements throughout the world
