Ludwig's Applied Process Design for Chemical and Petrochemical Plants

KEY FEATURES• Assists engineers in rapidly analyzing problems and finding effective design methods and mechanical specifications• Definitive guide to the selection and design of various equipment types, including heat exchanger sizing and compressor sizing, with established design codes • Batch heating and cooling of process fluids supported by Excel programsDESCRIPTIONThe fourth edition of Ludwig’s Applied Process Design for Chemical and PetrochemicalPlants, Volume Three is a core reference for chemical, plant, and process engineers andprovides an unrivalled reference on methods, process fundamentals, and supportingdesign data.New to this edition are expanded chapters on heat transfer plus additional chaptersfocused on the design of shell and tube heat exchangers, double pipe heat exchangersand air coolers. Heat tracer requirements for pipelines and heat loss from insulatedpipelines are covered in this new edition, along with batch heating and cooling of processfluids, process integration, and industrial reactors. The book also looks at thetroubleshooting of process equipment and corrosion and metallurgy.Ludwig's Applied Process Design for Chemical and Petrochemical Plants, Volume 3, FourthEdition is a true application-driven book. It provides clarity and easy access to essentialprocess plant data and design information. It actually covers a complete range of basicday-to-day chemical operation main elements..... This fourth edition is significantlyexpanded and updated, with new topics that ensure readers can analyze problems andfind practical design methods and solution to accomplish their process design tasks. Thevery large overview means that this reference manual can be well-used by bothacademics and those in industry. João Hiluy, Book Review tceThis book represents a considerable amount of present-day engineering data and designinformation that should not only be of extraordinary value to the process chemicalengineer looking for excellent information on Unit Operations equipment but also servesas a detailed source of help for process design and equipment specifications.
