Rules of Thumb for Chemical Engineers

With hundreds of common sense techniques, shortcuts and calculations, this text helps solve field-engineering problems. Also included are practical tips, formulas, correlations, curves, charts and tables that should save engineers valuable time and effort. It includes added material on fluid flow, long pipe, fractionators, separators and accumulators, cooling towers, gas treating, blending, troubleshooting field cases, gas solubility, and density of irregular solids, supported by conversion tables and a new appendix, Shortcut Equipment Design Methods.
