Overview
Main description
Solve chemical engineering problems quickly and accurately
Fully revised throughout with new procedures, Handbook of Chemical Engineering Calculations, Fourth Edition shows how to solve the main process-related problems that often arise in chemical engineering practice. New calculations reflect the latest green
technologies and environmental engineering standards.
Featuring contributions from global experts, this comprehensive guide is packed with worked-out numerical procedures. Practical techniques help you to solve problems
manually or by using computer-based methods. By following the calculations presented in this book, you will be able to achieve accurate results with minimal time and effort.
