This book is intended as a guide to the selection or design of the
principal kinds of chemical process equipment by engineers in
school and industry. The level of treatment assumes an elementary
knowledge of unit operations and transport phenomena. Access to
the many design and reference books listed in Chapter 1 is
desirable. For coherence, brief reviews of pertinent theory are
provided. Emphasis is placed on shortcuts, rules of thumb, and data
for design by analogy, often as primary design processes but also for
quick evaluations of detailed work.
