5.0 out of 5 stars Best thing since sliced bread!Well...for Chemical Engineers', October 9, 2001

By 

Dianna Lucia Ralston (Corvallis, Oregon United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Perry's Chemical Engineers' Platinum Edition (Hardcover)

I am a Junior/Senior in Chemical Engineering, and I can't say enough about this set I recently purchased. My husband is a Graduate student in Chemical Engineering and he told me to hold off, that he never used his copy (1991 version), and never needed it in college. I use the electronic book all the time on my laptop. It's a great resource, and so EASY to use. I even caught my husband using my Perry's on more than one occasion, and he finally admitted my version was much better and easier to use than his! He went out and bought his OWN copy! I pretty much only use the electronic book, but it's nice to know if my laptop crashed, I have a hardcopy to go to. With the active 8, you can get the variables from a z-Compressibility Chart without having to take out the magnifying lens and ruler. Just slide your mouse and a red bordered legend tells you the Tr Pr and z simultaneously until you reach your desired measurements. Printing is a cinch, and it looks like the hardcopy except on 1 page! As I said, I use this book about every day, and I am sure this is what I'll bring to the office when I'm done with school. This would have been sweet during my Material/Energy Balance class as a sophomore, too. If you're a student you already spend $500+ on textbooks a term anyway, you might as well buy a book that has the information of every book you will buy in college in one resource for a little extra money, I put my name on it. You won't regret it if you're serious about your major.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perry's Chemical Engineer's Handbook Platinum Edition, June 9, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Perry's Chemical Engineers' Platinum Edition (Hardcover)

This is the best deal ever for Perry's. This book is the Chemical Engineer's Bible and has everything in great and small detail. The electronic CD makes it even easier to use-a very useful tool to any traveling engineer. I wish I had the CD version in college.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must-have reference for all power & process engineers, August 21, 2000

By 

Hadi Kazwini (North Ryde, NSW Australia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Perry's Chemical Engineers' Platinum Edition (Hardcover)

I used the early editions of Perry before, but this 7th edition is the most comprehensive one ever. All you need from steam tables to equations & formulae are all included in the CD ROM. I recommend it to every professional engineer in power plant and/or process industries. It's a must-have reference.
