Save precious time and effort with this comprehensive reference for chemical and process engineers. Rules of Thumb for Chemical Engineers collects hundreds of shortcuts and calculations into one convenient volume. Whether concerned with fluid flow, fractionation, reliability, refrigeration, gas treating, or any one of dozens of other disciplines, you will find the fast answers needed for design or operations problems.

Practical how-to methods are presented in a large, easy-to-read format, so you won't have to sift through pages of theory. Twenty-five chapters are packed with nomographs, tables, illustrations, and calculations for straightforward solutions in the field (or even the classroom!); valuable information on computer programming and quality control, and process specification sheets are provided in the appendixes.

Sure to be found more often on the desktop or in the briefcase than in the bookshelf, no other chemical engineering reference is as complete as Rules of Thumb for Chemical Engineers.
