Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:OPTIMIZE PROCESS PERFORMANCE WITH THIS UNIQUE RESOURCE This job-critical guide is an invaluable resource for anyone in the chemical process industry. Inside in this book you'll find practical, worked-out calculations for reactor loops material balance calculations, catalysis in chemical reactors, estimation of important steam utility variables, as well as chemical economic calculations for efficient chemical plant operations — problems which are common to the process industry but hard to find in most texts. Packed with step-by-step procedures and examples, this manual features important tables for quick information retrieval, plus:
Book News Annotation:This manual reviews methods for calculating operating variables and
process fluid characteristics at the various process thermodynamics
stages, particularly the classical equations for vapor-liquid phase
equilibria, thermal exchange equipment, ion exchange in refining
processes, gas compression and expansion, and fuel conversion. Each
of the 22 chapters develop equations for a specific process,
summarizes useful forms of the equations, discusses their application
to problem solving, and provides worked examples based on practical
operating instances. The final chapter provides Visual Basic code for
computer simulations.
Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) Synopsis:This compact, information-dense resource provides instant access to hundreds of the calculations used in chemical process plants around the world. Readers will also find a wealth of useful tables for the density of gaseous and temperature of liquids.
