Editorial Reviews

Review

"An essential support text for the traditional design product...Well written using a clear type, is easy to read and is superbly indexed." Trans IChemE

"An excellent book for professionals and university students .. you can find everything you need about mass and heat transfer." Mehmet Aras, Bayer

"Bottom line: For a holistic view of chemical engineering design, this book provides as much, if not more, than any other book available on the topic. Nearly every subject is accompanied by examples and new technologies are also addressed. In short, a complete, well-written and illustrated resource that is a pleasure to use." www.cheresources.com (Chemical Engineering Resources)

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Product, August 15, 2007
This review is from: Chemical Engineering Design, Fourth Edition: Chemical Engineering Volume 6 (Coulson & Richardson's Chemical Engineering) (Paperback)
This book is an excellent book for a Chemical Engineer final year student or Chemical/Process Engineer professional. It outlines the whole spectrum for Process Engineer design, from management skills for a project, preferrable site location, actual design of Process equipment/vessels, etc. This book is definately an execellent buy for a Chemical/Process Engineer.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very complete and helpful guide for process design, June 28, 2007
This review is from: Chemical Engineering Design, Fourth Edition: Chemical Engineering Volume 6 (Coulson & Richardson's Chemical Engineering) (Paperback)
It's a very complete guide for process design. It considers both standards and directives form US and EU. The main considerations about how to start and carry out the first steps on process design are very complete and helpful.

This review is from: Chemical Engineering Design, Fourth Edition: Chemical Engineering Volume 6 (Coulson & Richardson's Chemical Engineering) (Paperback)
I found this book be an excellent summary of equipment capacities. There a several tables showing ranges of equipment based on a particular process variable and pro/con tables to aid in your selection. What is in short supply are anything but basic design equations for equipment. This is also true for an old favorite of mine: "Handbook of Separation Techniques for Chemical Engineers" by Philip A. Schweitzer. This textbook is less current, may be more useful for basic design, though more narrow.

My suggestion is to have Schweitzer and Sinnott's book in the design section of your professional library. Be careful with this book because it is paperback.

If this review was helpful, please vote. Thank you.
