Perry's chemical engineers' handbook - Don W. Green

Get Cutting-Edge Coverage of All Chemical Engineering Topics-from Fundamentals to the Latest Computer Applications.

First published in 1934, Perry's Chemical Engineers' Handbook has equipped generations of engineers and chemists with an expert source of chemical engineering information and data. Now updated to reflect the latest technology and processes of the new millennium, the Eighth Edition of this classic guide provides unsurpassed coverage of every aspect of chemical engineering-from fundamental principles to chemical processes and equipment to new computer applications.

Filled with over 700 detailed illustrations, the Eighth Edition of Perry's Chemcial Engineering Handbook features:

• Comprehensive tables and charts for unit conversion
• A greatly expanded section on physical and chemical data
• New to this edition: the latest advances in distillation, liquid-liquid
  extraction, reactor modeling, biological processes, biochemical and
  membrane separation processes, and chemical plant safety practices
  with accident case histories
