Perry's Chemical Engineers' Handbook

Cited in BCL 3 and Sheehy . The revised and reorganized seventh edition begins with sections focusing on chemical and physical property data and the fundamentals of chemical engineering. The second and largest group of sections deals with processes, generally divided as heat transfer operations, distillation, kinetics, liquid-liquid, liquid-solid and so on. The last group treats auxiliary information such as materials of construction, process machinery drives, waste management, and process safety. The many new or extensively revised sections include those on mathematics, transport and storage of fluids, alternative separation processes, heat-transfer equipment, chemical reactions, liquid-solid operations and equipment, process safety, and analysis of plant performance.
