Book Description

ISBN-10: 0750625589 | ISBN-13: 978-0750625586 | Publication Date: June 12, 1996 | Edition: 2

Coulson and Richardson's classic series provides the student with an account of the fundamentals of chemical engineering and constitutes the definitive work on the subject for academics and practitioners.


Each book provides clear explanations of theory and thorough coverage of practical applications, supported by numerous worked examples and problems. Thus, the text is designed for students as well as being comprehensive in coverage. Volume 6 is an
introduction to chemical engineering design. This new edition has been fully revised and updated. In addition, the text has been reset and all diagrams redrawn, resulting in a book which is clearer and easier to use than ever before. This book will be valuable for, not only undergraduate students, but also to chemical engineers in industry and chemists and mechanical engineers who have to tackle problems arising in the process industry.

About the Author

Ray Sinnott's varied career, mainly in design and development, began with several major companies including Dupont and John Brown. The main areas covered within these appointments were: Gas Production and Distribution, Nuclear Energy, Elastomers and Textile fibres. After his career in industry he joined the Chemical Engineering Department, University of Wales Swansea in 1970, specialising in teaching process and plant design, and other engineering practice subjects. The first edition of Chemical Engineering Design (Coulson and Richardson's Vol 6) was published in 1983. Subsequent editions have been published at approximately 5 year intervals. Ray Sinnott retired from full time teaching in 1995 but has maintained close contact with the engineering profession.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for any undergraduate chem eng design project!, March 10, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Coulson and Richardson's Chemical Engineering, Volume 6, Second Edition: Chemical Engineering Design (Chemical Engineering Technical Series) (Paperback)

As a graduate chemical engineer, fortunate to be one of Ray Sinnott's students, it is with great pleasure that I write about his book. The design project is a crucial part of any undergraduate program encompassing chemical engineering or related topics,ie Bio-chemical engineering and Process Bio-technology to name just a few. It is not until the student (of one of the most complex and challenging degree schemes) becomes involved with the "design project" do they realise the problems that need to be overcome to just start the most simple of tasks. The text is a valuable tool to quick and accurate methods to start the basic design of the majority of traditional unit operations. The text of course relies on the user to have some engineering knowledge and paves the way for the application of the more rigorous software design packages that are available today. Coverage is given is to many topics in the book especially in the areas of safe design/operation and costing, with many further references given at the end of chapter. This is a book that you will buy and continue to use all your practicing life, as myself and friends will testify!! There is no other text book that I have come across which gives so much practical information, yet so easily accessed. James Evans M.Eng. (University of Wales, Swansea.(UK))

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for any Chemical Engineer, July 9, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Chemical Engineering Vol 6, Second Edition: Design (Paperback)

I found this book to be an excellent text and an invaluble resource for any Chemical Engineer whether a student or a working professional. The book is well laid out and a surprisingly easy read even for those beginning a chem eng course. I would recommend it to anyone.
