Review: This textbook complements the other three in the series. It covers the application of chemical engineering principles to the design of chemical processes and equipment. There are chapters on: the nature and methodology of design; material balances; energy balances (and energy use); keeping a process flow sheet; piping and instrumentation; costing and project evaluation; construction materials and their properties; design information and data; safety and loss-prevention; equipment specification and selection; separation columns; heat-transfer equipment; process equipment design; and general site considerations. This latest edition keeps the same approach as previous popular editions, but it has been updated and some new material added. In particular, the chapter on costing has been completely updated.
