The gold standard for chemical engineering information - from the fundamentals to the state of the art. This industry-standard resource, first published in 1934, has equipped generations of engineers and chemists with vital information, data, and insights. Thoroughly revised to reflect the latest technological advances and processes, Perry's Chemical Engineers' Handbook, Ninth Edition, is indispensable for unsurpassed coverage of every aspect of chemical engineering. New features include coverage of bioreactions and bioprocessing, a practical presentation of thermodynamics fundamentals, and new and updated chemical property data. A must-have for students and professionals in every stage of their careers, Perry's provides all the technical details you'll need in a well-organized format: You'll find comprehensive material on chemical processes, reactor modeling, biological processes, biochemical and membrane separation, process and chemical plant safety, and much more. This fully updated edition covers: • Unit Conversion Factors and Symbols • Physical and Chemical Data (including prediction and correlation of physical properties) • Mathematics (including differential and integral calculus, statistics , optimization) • Thermodynamics • Heat and Mass Transfer • Fluid and Particle Dynamics • Reaction Kinetics • Process Control and Instrumentation • Process Economics • Transport and Storage of Fluids • Heat-Transfer Operations and Equipment • Psychrometry, Evaporative Cooling, and Solids Drying • Distillation • Gas Absorption and Gas-Liquid System Design • Liquid-Liquid Extraction Operations and Equipment • Adsorption and Ion Exchange • Gas-Solid Operations and Equipment • Liquid-Solid Operations and Equipment • Solid-Solid Operations and Equipment • Chemical Reactors • Bio-based Reactions and Processing • Waste Management (including air, wastewater, and solid waste management) • Process Safety (including inherently safer design) • Energy Resources, Conversion, and Utilization • Materials of Construction.
