Succinct guidelines are what the working engineer or engineering student needs.
The shortcuts do not cut corners, but provide solid, empirically or theoretically derived solutions for many of the problems encountered in designing chemical plants and processes. The chapters are full of useful formulas and nomographs, all supported by literature references. All parameters in the formulas are identified in each chapter, so that the engineer does not need to guess at or look further for an explanation. Tables of typical values are given for some quantities. References are contained in each chapter, and there is an index.
