Chemical engineering design [electronic resource] : principles, practice and economics of plant and process design /

Chemical Engineering Design: Principles, Practice and Economics of Plant and Process Design is one of the best-known and most widely adopted texts available for students of chemical engineering. The text deals with the application of chemical engineering principles to the design of chemical processes and equipment. The third edition retains its hallmark features of scope, clarity and practical emphasis, while providing the latest US codes and standards, including API, ASME and ISA design codes and ANSI standards, as well as coverage of the latest aspects of process design, operations, safety, loss prevention, equipment selection, and more. The text is designed for chemical and biochemical engineering students (senior undergraduate year, plus appropriate for capstone design courses where taken), and professionals in industry (chemical process, biochemical, pharmaceutical, petrochemical sectors).
Previous ed.: 2013.
Originally written by Ray Sinnott as volume 6 of the "Chemical Engineering" series edited by Coulson and Richardson.
The 1st ed. of Chemical engineering design : principles, practice and economics of plant and process design was published in 2008 as an adaptation of Coulson and Richardson volume 6 for the North American market. References to laws, codes, and standards were changed to an American rather than British basis.
