Chemical Engineering Design Project: A Case Study Approach

by Martyn S. Ray

This new edition follows the original format, which combines a detailed case study - the production of phthalic anhydride - with practical advice and comprehensive background information. Guiding the reader through all major aspects of a chemical engineering design, the text includes both the initial technical and economic feasibility study as well as the detailed design stages. Each aspect of the design is illustrated with material from an award-winning student design project.
The book embodies the "learning by doing" approach to design. The student is directed to appropriate information sources and is encouraged to make decisions at each stage of the design process rather than simply following a design method. Thoroughly revised, updated, and expanded, the accompanying text includes developments in important areas and many new references.

Read Part 1 only. Go through Part 2 as you progress through reactor, equipment and separation 2. The second part is way too detailed right now for me to grasp.
Part 1 is great at providing context and real-world procedures (or approximations of them). It demands of a student more than would be demanded of them in my own program so it's useful in seeing all the things that my own program's design project might not demand but which are important in the real world nonetheless.
Definitely revisit the references in this book as needed. A great resource.

دا الكتاب زي الناااااار !
ما جبت
Best Senior Design in Chemical Engineering department across KFUPM ..
إلا بفضل من الله ومن ثم هذا الكتاب العظيم اللي مهّد لي الطريق في البحث والاطلاع ..
بحر أفكار لا تنتهي !
تقريباً حاولت استخدم معظم افكاره ..

كتاب للوحوش وعيبه الوحيد أنه متخصص في بروسس وحدة وانتا تقيس بنفسك على اللي بين يديك ..
ما تدري .. سبحان الله يمكن تكون متشابهة !

lack of process control and instrumentation !
