Description: The chemical and
allied industries employ a multitude of unit operations in product
manufacturing. Both chemicals and physical mechanisms are employed in these
operations, ranging from simple bulk handling and preparation of chemical
feedstocks to complex chemical reactions in the presence of heat and or mass
transfer. These operations require application of scientific and engineering
principles to ensure efficient, safe and economical process operations.
To meet these
objectives, process equipment must perform intended functions under actual
operating conditions and do so in a continuous and reliable manner. Equipment
must have the characteristics of mechanical reliability, which includes
strength, rigidity, durability and tightness. In addition, it must be designed
at an optimized ratio of capital investment to service life. This book is
designed as a handy desk reference covering fundamental engineering principles
of project planning schemes and layout, corrosion principles and materials
properties of engineering importance. It is intended as a general source of
typical materials property data, useful for first pass materials selection in
process design problems.
