Chemical Engineering The Essential Reference

Featuring a pragmatic, applied perspective, this concise handbook thoroughly covers chemical engineering principles and applicationsChemical Engineering: The Essential Reference delivers the key content covered in the renowned Perry's Chemical Engineers Handbook in a convenient format with expanded coverage of new topics, including nanotechnology, legal considerations, OM&I, and purchasing equipment. This handbook teaches the practical skills needed to solve chemical engineering problems. It serves as a training tool for those in academia and industry involved with chemical engineering applications. Unlike the many texts that emphasize theory and theoretical derivations, this book presents the subject of chemical engineering from a strictly pragmatic standpoint. Each of the 30 chapters serves a unique purpose within a particular chemical engineering subject. Written by a section editor for Perry's Chemical Engineers Handbook. Covers topics of importance to today's chemical engineers, nanotechnology, operation, maintenance and inspection (OMI) procedures, how to purchase equipment, legal considerations, the need for a second language, oral and written communication, and more. Shows how to apply basic chemical engineering concepts to real-world problem-solving. Overview of topics related to ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology) for practicing engineers.
