This review is from: Process Plant Machinery, Second Edition (Hardcover)
This book is an excellent reference for process engineers. It is full of basic information about various pieces of rotating equipment, as well as various other machines used in the process industries. The book is full of practical knowledge that is not drowned by theory.
