Chemical Engineering

Presents a wide scope of articles on chemical substances, properties, manufacturing, and uses; on industrial processes, unit operations in chemical engineering; and on fundamentals and scientific subjects related to the field. The Encyclopedia describes established technology along with cutting edge topics of interest in the wide field of chemical technology. "The most indispensable reference in the English language on all aspects of chemical technology"

Provides coverage of every aspect of chemical engineering: chemical processes, reactor modeling, biological processes, biochemical and membrane separation, process and chemical plant safety, and much more.

Provides information on how chemicals will behave at different temperatures and under different conditions. Covering both organic and inorganic substances, and providing both experimental values and estimated values.

Through analyzing the basic elements in all process design, this data book aims to allow the engineer to control chemical processes in order to yield the desired effects efficiently and economically. It emphasizes chemical conversions, the chemical reactions applied to industrial processing. Changes in existing technological or chemical processes as well as possible future improvements or changes to other more economic or more readily available feedstocks are also included.

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.

Provides a step-by-step methodology and 25 downloadable, customizable, needs-specific software applications that offer quick, accurate solutions to complex process design problems. These applications uniquely fill the gaps left by large, very expensive commercial process simulation software packages used to select, size, and design industrial chemical process equipment.
