NOTE: This is a single chapter excerpted from the book Branan's Rules of Thumb for Chemical Engineers, made available for individual purchase. Additional chapters, as well as the entire book, may be purchased separately.

The most complete guide of its kind, this is the favored handbook for chemical and process engineers who need a reliable and authoritative solution to their practical on the job problems. Includes all new material on new processing sectors, include biopharmaceuticals. The text is comprehensively revised and updated with new data and formulas. Rules of Thumb for Chemical Engineers solves process design problems quickly, accurately and safely, with hundreds of common sense techniques, shortcuts and calculations.
