Chemical Engineering Design, Second Edition, deals with the application of chemical engineering principles to the design of chemical processes and equipment. Revised throughout, this edition has been specifically developed for the U.S. market. It provides the latest US codes and standards, including API, ASME and ISA design codes and ANSI standards. It contains new discussions of conceptual plant design, flowsheet development, and revamp design; extended coverage of capital cost estimation, process costing, and economics; and new chapters on equipment selection, reactor design, and solids handling processes. A rigorous pedagogy assists learning, with detailed worked examples, end of chapter exercises, plus supporting data, and Excel spreadsheet calculations, plus over 150 Patent References for downloading from the companion website. Extensive instructor resources, including 1170 lecture slides and a fully worked solutions manual are available to adopting instructors. This text is designed for chemical and biochemical engineering students (senior undergraduate year, plus appropriate for capstone design courses where taken, plus graduates) and lecturers/tutors, and professionals in industry (chemical process, biochemical, pharmaceutical, petrochemical sectors). New to this edition: - Revised organization into Part I: Process Design, and Part II: Plant Design. The broad themes of Part I are flowsheet development, economic analysis, safety and environmental impact and optimization. Part II contains chapters on equipment design and selection that can be used as supplements to a lecture course or as essential references for students or practicing engineers working on design projects. - New discussion of conceptual plant design, flowsheet development and revamp design - Significantly increased coverage of capital cost estimation, process costing and economics - New chapters on equipment selection, reactor design and solids handling processes - New sections on fermentation, adsorption, membrane separations, ion exchange and chromatography - Increased coverage of batch processing, food, pharmaceutical and biological processes - All equipment chapters in Part II revised and updated with current information - Updated throughout for latest US codes and standards, including API, ASME and ISA design codes and ANSI standards - Additional worked examples and homework problems - The most complete and up to date coverage of equipment selection - 108 realistic commercial design projects from diverse industries - A rigorous pedagogy assists learning, with detailed worked examples, end of chapter exercises, plus supporting data and Excel spreadsheet calculations plus over 150 Patent References, for downloading from the companion website - Extensive instructor resources: 1170 lecture slides plus fully worked solutions manual available to adopting instructors

It Is Well Known That The Applications Of Unit Operations Like Heat Transfer, Evaporation, Extraction, Mixing, Filtration And A Host Of Others Are Quite Common In The Pharmaceutical Industry, Be It In The Production Of Synthetic Drugs, Biological And Microbiological Products Or In The Manufacture Of Pharmaceutical Formulations. As Such Anyone Who Is To Look After These Manufacturing Operations Must Be Quite Knowledgeable With The Theoretical And Equipment Aspects Involved In The Relevant Unit Operations.Since A Major Involvement Of The Pharmacy Graduates Lies In The Numerous Manufacturing Operations Mentioned Above, It Is Very Much Necessary That The Subject Is Taught With A Pharmacy Orientation. There Is No Book So Far Which Has Achieved This. The Existing Books On Unit Operations Give Extensive Theory And Also Deal With A Lot Of Equipment Not Employed In The Pharmaceutical Industry. Due To A Lack Of A Pharmacy-Oriented Book In This Area, The Students And The Teachers Are Facing Difficulties In Many Ways.The Present Book Is The First One Of Its Kind On Pharmaceutical Engineering. The Special Features Of This Book Are As Follows: It Includes Theoretical And Equipment Aspects Relevant To Thepharmaceutical Industry And That Too To The Extent Needed For Pharmacy Graduates And Examples From Pharmaceutical Industry Are Quoted Extensively; Solutions To A Number Of Simpler Numerical Problems Are Given. At The End Of Each Chapter, A Large Number Of Questions, Both Theoretical And Numerical, Are Given. There Is Therefore No Doubt That The Book Will Be Of Great Use Not Only To The Students But Also To The Teachers In The Subject In India And Abroad As Well.

The book presents the principles of unit operations as well as the application of these principles to real-world problems. The authors have written a practical introductory text exploring the theory and applications of unit operations for environmental engineers that is a comprehensive update to Linvil Rich's 1961 classic work, "Unit Operations in Sanitary Engineering". The book is designed to serve as a training tool for those individuals pursuing degrees that include courses on unit operations. Although the literature is inundated with publications in this area emphasizing theory and theoretical derivations, the goal of this book is to present the subject from a strictly pragmatic introductory point-of-view, particularly for those individuals involved with environmental engineering. This book is concerned with unit operations, fluid flow, heat transfer, and mass transfer. Unit operations, by definition, are physical processes although there are some that include chemical and biological reactions. The unit operations approach allows both the practicing engineer and student to compartmentalize the various operations that constitute a process, and emphasizes introductory engineering principles so that the reader can then satisfactorily predict the performance of the various unit operations equipment. "This is a definitive work on Unit Operations, one of the most important subjects in environmental engineering today. It is an excellent reference, well written, easily read and comprehensive. I believe the book will serve well those working in engineering disciplines including those beyond just environmental and chemical engineering. Bottom-line: A must for any technical library". —Kenneth J. Skipka, CCM

In order to successfully produce food products with maximum quality, each stage of processing must be well-designed. Unit Operations in Food Engineering systematically presents the basic information necessary to design food processes and the equipment needed to carry them out. It covers the most common food engineering unit operations in detail, in
