Rules of Thumb for Chemical Engineers, Sixth Edition provides fast access to accurate and practical solutions for everyday problems. The most complete guide of its kind, this is still the favoured handbook for chemical and process engineers who need a reliable and authoritative solution to their practical on the job problems. The text is comprehensively revised and updated with new data and formulas. Rules of Thumb for Chemical Engineers solves process design problems quickly, accurately and safely, with hundreds of common sense techniques, shortcuts and calculations. Its concise sections detail the steps needed to answer critical design questions and challenges. This book will help you: Save time you no longer have to spend on theory or derivationsImprove accuracy because you will use well tested and accepted methods culled from industry expertsSave money because you will reduce reliance on consultants, or have better initial understanding of your problem before engaging consultants It discusses physical properties for proprietary materials, pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical sector heuristics, and process design, along with closed-loop heat transfer systems, heat exchangers, packed columns, and structured packings. This book brings together solutions, information and work-arounds that engineers in the process industry need to get their job done.
