The most complete guide of its kind, this is still the favored handbook for chemical and process engineers who need a reliable and authoritative solution to their practical on the job problems. It includes all new material on new processing sectors, including biopharmaceuticals. The text is comprehensively revised and updated with new data and formulas. "Rules of Thumb for Chemical Engineers" solves process design problems quickly, accurately and safely, with hundreds of common sense techniques, shortcuts and calculations. "Rules of Thumb for Chemical Engineers" brings together solutions, information and work-around that engineers in the process industry need to get their job done. New material in the Fifth Edition includes physical properties for proprietary materials, six new chapters, including pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical sector heuristics, process design with simulation software, and guidelines for hazardous materials and processes. It now includes SI units throughout alongside imperial, and is also now accompanied by online calculation tools. New to this edition: includes new chapter on biopharmaceutical systems; new chapter on closed-loop heat transfer systems; and, extensively rewritten chapters on fluid flow, fractionation, heat exchangers, pumps, compressors, safety, and controls. This title provides latest information on packed columns and structured packings. It features excel workbooks, with Visual Basic for Applications function subroutines that solve many of the problems in the book. It provides fully updated references.
