Long description
This latest edition of the most complete handbook for chemical and process engineers incorporates new material for the benefit of engineers and practitioners depending on it as a working tool. There is new material to reflect recent trends and updates on gas treating in process design, heat transfer, and fractionator computer solutions analysis in distillation columns. The substantial addition of material also includes a new appendix on gasification, to reflect the many new trends and techniques in the field, plus a short treatment on ergonomics in the process industries.
Review
Branan's useful and convenient handbook for chemical and process engineers (at a bargain price) will be much appreciated by students and practitioners... American Reference Books Annual ...this book is a handy reference tool for preliminary designs, and has some very useful information on several aspects of plant operation. Chemical Engineering Carl Branan's book provides a huge amount of valuable information on a wide variety of chemical engineering applications from sizing pipelines to economic evaluation of process options.
