Chemical Engineering Design, 2nd Edition
Principles, Practice and Economics of Plant and
Process Design
9780080966595
For undergraduate two semester sequence
Senior Design courses in Chemical Engineering.
By Gavin Towler
and R K Sinnott
"Chemical Engineering Design is a complete text
for students of chemical engineering. Written for
the senior design course, and also suitable for
introduction to chemical engineering courses, it
covers the basics of unit operations and the
latest aspects of process design, equipment
selection, plant and operating economics, safety
and loss prevention. It includes detailed worked
examples, case studies, end-of-chapter
exercises, plus supporting data, spreadsheet
calculations and equipment specification sheets
for downloading."
--Chemical Engineering Progress
By Pauline M.
Doran
Bioprocess Engineering Principles, 2nd Edition
9780122208515
This welcome new edition covers bioprocess
engineering principles for the reader with a limited
engineering background. It explains process
analysis from an engineering point of view, using
worked examples and problems that relate to
biological systems. Application of engineering
concepts is illustrated in areas of modern
biotechnology such as recombinant protein
production, bioremediation, biofuels, drug
development, and tissue engineering, as well as
microbial fermentation. The main sub-disciplines
within the engineering curriculum are all covered;
Material and Energy Balances, Transport
Processes, Reactions and Reactor Engineering.
With new and expanded material, Doran’s
textbook remains the book of choice for students
seeking to move into bioprocess engineering.
