Review
"An essential support text for the traditional design product...Well written using a clear type, is easy to read and is superbly indexed." Trans IChemE "An excellent book for professionals and university students .. you can find everything you need about mass and heat transfer." Mehmet Aras, Bayer "Bottom line: For a holistic view of chemical engineering design, this book provides as much, if not more, than any other book available on the topic. Nearly every subject is accompanied by examples and new technologies are also addressed. In short, a complete, well-written and illustrated resource that is a pleasure to use." www.cheresources.com (Chemical Engineering Resources)
