Product Description

Chemical Engineering Volume 2 covers the properties of particulate systems, including the character of individual particles and their behaviour in fluids. Sedimentation of particles, both singly and at high concentrations, flow in packed and fluidised beads and filtration are then examined.

The latter part of the book deals with separation processes, such as distillation and gas absorption, which illustrate applications of the fundamental principles of mass transfer introduced in Chemical Engineering Volume 1. In conclusion, several techniques of growing importance - adsorption, ion exchange, chromatographic and membrane separations, and process intensification - are described.

* A logical progression of chemical engineering concepts, volume 2 builds on fundamental principles contained in Chemical Engineering volume 1 and these volumes are fully cross-referenced
* Reflects the growth in complexity and stature of chemical engineering over the last few years
* Supported with further reading at the end of each chapter and graded problems at the end of the book

Essential for the design project
This book is a great place to start when doing your final year design project. It summarises all the stuff you've learnt over the years, and gives you some pointers on the practical stuff you don't get taught. Its also very good at pointing you to other references that can help even more. Don't start your design project without one.

Coulson adn Richardson - essential reading for chem eng.
The hallowed Coulson and Richardson really is THE key to unlocking the problems of chemical engineering. As a first year undergraduate, i found this book very useful in all aspects of my course from Process Analysis to Fluid Flow. You're tutors may recommend this book along with a score of others, but my advice is that if you buy only one book in your freshman year, make it this one.
Coulson and Richardson is not only an invaluable resource for chemical engineeres, it is also easy to use, unlike so many others. Information is clear and comprehensive and there are tutorial problems to guide you through the course.
So forget about Stroud and Perry's, Coulson and Richardson will be your best purchase throughout university- not only will it give you a solid basis in the fundamentals of chem eng. it will serve you all the way to masters level.
And once you've finished volume one- there are at least another five volumes that i know of to sink your teeth into!
Enjoy!
