9798198487192 - PETROLEUM REFINING ENGINEERING: Process, Thermodynamics, Simulation, and Design. von Parkerson, Matthew E.; Harefield, Samantha J.; Vasquez-Mena, Henrique A. (1 Ergebnisse)

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Petroleum Refining Engineering provides a rigorous, comprehensive, and authoritative treatment of the science and engineering that underlies every major process in the modern petroleum refinery. Written by three experienced professors and industry practitioners, this text bridges the critical gap between classical chemical engineering fundamentals and the highly specialized body of knowledge required for professional practice in petroleum processing. From the thermodynamic characterization of crude oil and the design of atmospheric and vacuum distillation units, through catalytic reforming, fluid catalytic cracking, hydrocracking, delayed coking, and lubricating oil manufacture, every major refinery unit operation is developed from first principles and carried through to practical design, simulation, and optimization. The text integrates reaction engineering, thermodynamics, transport phenomena, process simulation, equipment design, environmental engineering, and refinery economics into a single coherent framework - making it both a rigorous academic resource and an indispensable reference for practicing engineers.
