Handbook of Chemical Engineering Calculations

Now in an expanded second edition, this book provides a practical approach to solving everyday chemical engineering problems, giving clear, detailed procedures for performing calculations, accompanied by fully worked-out examples. It details solutions to problems in: estimating physical and chemical properties; stoichiometry; phase equilibrium; chemical-reaction equilibrium; chemical-reaction kinetics; flow of fluids and solids; heat transfer; and distillation. New to the second edition are sections on drying, evaporation, absorption and environmental engineering in the process plant, as well as a new emphasis on operations-related problems.
