Titre(s) : Rules of thumb for chemical engineers [Texte électronique] : a manual of quick, accurate solutions to everyday process engineering problems / Carl R. Branan, editor
Édition : 4th ed.
Publication : Amsterdam ; Boston : Elsevier, cop. 2005
Description matérielle : 1 ressource dématérialisée
Note(s) : Includes bibliographical references and index
From the Publisher: This new edition of the most complete handbook for chemical and
process engineers incorporates the latest information for engineers and practitioners
who depend on it as a working tool. New material explores the recent trends and updates
of gas treating and fractionator computer solutions analysis. Substantial additions
to this edition include a new section on gasification that reflects the many new trends
and techniques in the field and a treatment on compressible fluid flow. This convenient
volume provides engineers with hundreds of common sense techniques, shortcuts, and
calculations to quickly and accurately solve day-to-day design, operations, and equipment
problems. Here, in a compact, easy-to-use format, are practical tips, handy formulas,
correlations, curves, charts, tables, and shortcut methods that will save engineers
valuable time and effort
