Albright's Chemical Engineering Handbook

Edited By Lyle Albright Copyright 2008

    From fundamentals to plant operations, Albright's Chemical Engineering Handbook offers a thorough, yet succinct guide to day-to-day methods and calculations used in chemical engineering applications. Leaders from an exceptional diversity of specialties provide a clear review of basic information, case examples, and references to additional information. They discuss essential principles, calculations, and key issues such as reaction engineering, process control and design, waste disposal, and electrochemical and biochemical engineering. The final chapters cover aspects of patents, intellectual property, communications, and ethics that are most relevant to engineers.
