Product Description

Review

...electronic version of a well-known print handbook...This program is most useful for users who do most of their work in the field or on the road, where they would carry laptop computers but would not want to take books with them...One advantage of the software is the ability to print specific pages, allowing users to write notes on the pages without the guilt of defacing a book. Upper-division undergraduates and up. (Choice 20001201) --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Book Description

This is a major revision of the definitive handbook in the field of chemical engineering. It provides facts, figures, methods and data needed for solving the wide range of problems engineers face in the chemical process industries. In addition to necessary updating, revising and reorganization throughout, the Seventh Edition will include new material on biochemical engineering, waste management, plant safety and analysis of plant performance, computer applications, expert systems, material and energy balances, gas- and liquid-phase pulsation dampeners, the LIST reactor, and handling of hazardous materials. SI units of measure are used throughout. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

4.0 out of 5 stars This + Coulson = Chem Eng degree 16 Jun 2010
By Catriona Reid VINE™ VOICE
Format:Hardcover
I won this epic tome at the end of my First Year for being in the top twenty of my class. It all went downhill from there, but at least I had Perry's to help me out!

In all truthfullness, what Perry's is most useful for is values of constants, steam tables, material properties, and things of that nature. However, the chapters regarding things like heat transfer (and other subjects) are well-written and easily understood, and along with the Coulson books should help answer most of your questions.

I have a copy of this on my desk at work and I still refer to it from time to time. Also, it makes you look like a very serious chem eng type, and is an excellent door stop. Try and convince your parents to buy you one because "all real chemical engineers use it!".

5.0 out of 5 stars The harder the better. 24 Sep 1999
By A Customer
Format:Hardcover
Worth every penny of the extra cost, the durability of the hardback edition makes it invaluable as one's sole companion on those lonely desert, jungle or offshore postings. A seminal experience.
