Produktbeschreibung

Chemical Engineering Design: Principles, Practice and Economics of Plant and Process Design is one of the best-known and most widely adopted texts available for students of chemical engineering. The text deals with the application of chemical engineering principles to the design of chemical processes and equipment. The third edition retains its hallmark features of scope, clarity and practical emphasis, while providing the latest US codes and standards, including API, ASME and ISA design codes and ANSI standards, as well as coverage of the latest aspects of process design, operations, safety, loss prevention, equipment selection, and more. The text is designed for chemical and biochemical engineering students (senior undergraduate year, plus appropriate for capstone design courses where taken), and professionals in industry (chemical process, biochemical, pharmaceutical, petrochemical sectors).

• Provides students with a text of unmatched relevance for chemical process and plant design courses and for the final year capstone design course
• Written by practicing design engineers with extensive undergraduate teaching experience
• Contains more than 100 typical industrial design projects drawn from a diverse range of process industries

NEW TO THIS EDITION

• Includes new content covering food, pharmaceutical and biological processes and commonly used unit operations
• Provides updates on plant and equipment costs, regulations and technical standards
• Includes limited online access for students to Cost Engineering's Cleopatra Enterprise cost estimating software
