Separation Process Engineering

by Phillip C. Wankat

The Comprehensive Introduction to Standard and Advanced Separation for Every Chemical Engineer Separation Process Engineering, Second Edition helps readers thoroughly master both standard equilibrium staged separations and the latest new processes. The author explains key separation process with exceptional clarity, realistic examples, and end-of-chapter simulation exercises using Aspen Plus. The book starts by reviewing core concepts, such as equilibrium and unit operations; then introduces a step-by-step process for solving separation problems. Next, it introduces each leading processes, including advanced processes such as membrane separation, adsorption, and chromatography. For each process, the author presents essential principles, techniques, and equations, as well as detailed examples. Separation Process Engineering is the new, thoroughly updated edition of the author's previous book, Equilibrium Staged Separations . Enhancements include improved organization, extensive new coverage, and more than 75% new homework problems, all tested in the author's Purdue University classes. Coverage includes

[Jake · Rating 4 out of 5]

this book is our recommended textbook for unit operations in separation processes. Good development of theory. This book will go very well with a practice book that has example problems for students to practice for exam preparation. Recommend to go with "Engineering Problems for Undergraduate Students - Over 250 worked examples.." by Ng, check topic on separation processes. This book focuses on practice problems with full worked solutions shown. Easy to follow as there are many diagrams and detailed explanations.

I didn't like it, though it's good as reference. But, it's useless to understand from first time, there's still some information that needs to be explained that's not in there..
For me, as biased view, I don't recommend it to read.
Three start because of the science it has which I cannot regard.
