ROBERT H. PERRY

Get Cutting-Edge Coverage of All Chemical Engineering Topics¿ from Fundamentals to the Latest Computer Applications First published in 1934, Perry's Chemical Engineers' Handbook has equipped generations of engineers and chemists with an expert source of chemical engineering information and data. Now updated to reflect the latest technology and processes of the new millennium, the Eighth Edition of this classic guide provides unsurpassed coverage of every aspect of chemical engineering-from fundamental principles to chemical processes and equipment to new computer applications. Filled with over 700 detailed illustrations, the Eighth Edition of Perry's Chemcial Engineering Handbook features: Comprehensive tables and charts for unit conversion A greatly expanded section on physical and chemical data New to this edition: the latest advances in distillation, liquid-liquid extraction, reactor modeling, biological processes, biochemical and membrane separation processes, and chemical plant safety practices with accident case histories Inside This Updated Chemical Engineering Guide - Conversion Factors and Mathematical Symbols ¿ Physical and Chemical Data ¿ Mathematics ¿ Thermodynamics ¿ Heat and Mass Transfer ¿ Fluid and Particle Dynamics Reaction Kinetics ¿ Process Control ¿ Process Economics ¿ Transport and Storage of Fluids ¿ Heat Transfer Equipment ¿ Psychrometry, Evaporative Cooling, and Solids Drying ¿ Distillation ¿ Gas Absorption and Gas-Liquid System Design ¿ Liquid-Liquid Extraction Operations and Equipment ¿ Adsorption and Ion Exchange ¿ Gas-Solid Operations and Equipment ¿ Liquid-Solid Operations and Equipment ¿ Solid-Solid Operations and Equipment ¿ Size Reduction and Size Enlargement ¿ Handling of Bulk Solids and Packaging of Solids and Liquids ¿ Alternative Separation Processes ¿ And Many Other Topics!

This is the new edition of chemical and process engineers' favorite reference. Previous editions of this authoritative, comprehensive handbook have sold more than 887,000 copies. This Seventh Edition contains 50% new or revised material, including new information on condensers, reboilers, evaporators, and vessels; multicomponent and enhance distillation including azeotropic, extractive, and reactive methods; gas absorption processes with data on plate performance, plate design, and packed towers, super-critical fluid and membrane separation processes; biochemical separation processes; materials of construction; and materials for process applications. The Handbook is once again the standard in the field--with all the facts, figures, methods, and data engineers rely on and need.
