Separation Process Engineering: Includes Mass Transfer Analysis

by Phillip C. Wankat

<!--[if gte mso 9]> <![endif]--> The Definitive, Up-to-Date, Student-Friendly Guide to Separation Process Engineering―With More Mass Transfer Coverage and a New Chapter on Crystallization Separation Process Engineering, Fourth Edition, is the most comprehensive, accessible guide available on modern separation processes and the fundamentals of mass transfer. In this completely updated edition, Phillip C. Wankat teaches each key concept through detailed, realistic examples using real data―including up-to-date simulation practice and spreadsheet-based exercises. Wankat thoroughly covers each separation process, including flash, column, and batch distillation; exact calculations and shortcut methods for multicomponent distillation; staged and packed column design; absorption; stripping; and more. This edition provides expanded coverage of mass transfer and diffusion, so faculty can cover separations and mass transfer in one course. Detailed discussions of liquid-liquid extraction, adsorption, chromatography, and ion exchange prepare students for advanced work. Wankat presents coverage of membrane separations, including gas permeation, reverse osmosis, ultrafiltration, pervaporation, and applications. An updated chapter on economics and energy conservation in distillation adds coverage of equipment costs. This edition contains more than 300 new, up-to-date homework problems, extensively tested in undergraduate courses at Purdue University and the University of Canterbury (New Zealand).

[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.
