Chemical Engineering Design: Principles, Practice and Economics of Plant and Process Design

This text was used for two chemical engineering design courses, and has been one of the better texts I've owned. It provided costing and sizing templates that were useful when solving problems. I'll definitely keep it for future reference.

Excellent book, I have used it with my students this year and I think it is very useful especially the approach of the examples to practice. Also is very specific in the activity of chemical engineers

I think this is a very good handbook.

I need this book for senior design, I have used my professor copies so I know it’s useful. However, the condition in which the book is was not worth the rental money I paid. Get it new and resell it once you are done.

The various topics covered are done with excellent professional approach and would appeal to engineering students and professionals in the field alike. One would treasure the knowledge acquired after reading this book and can certainly make the best use of it in his respective field of application.

Towler and Sinnott's book provides a good overview of process design covers flowsheet layout, simulation, estimation of operating and capital costs, profitability analysis and optimization. The book then covers preliminary equipment design, including pressure vessels, reactors, separators, columns, solids handling equipment, heat exchangers and fluid hydraulics. This is a good overview of process design.

I used this book for a class of mine. It's very well written and easy to understand

is a very nice book, the editorial is very kind to assign an editor to help you. They provide presentations, solution manual to the problems and even figures of every chapter. The problems are quite complex but they provide all the tools to solve them *****love this book*******

Arrived quickly. Very handy for undergraduate chemical engineering design projects. Will update when my coursework is marked.

Ottimo riferimento per la progettazione di impianti e apparecchiature dell’industria chimica e petrolchimica. Il testo è veramente ottimo. Dopo una breve introduzione sui bilanci di massa ed energia, tratta in modo chiaro e sintetico le principali unità di processo: reattori, separatori, scambiatori di calore, etc. ... Contiene alcuni capitoli, estremamente utili per i professionisti, sulla sicurezza, i materiali, la strumentazione di controllo, le valvole di sicurezza, sull’analisi dei costi e un’introduzione alla progettazione meccanica di recipienti in pressione e tubazioni. Consigliato a studenti e progettisti nel settore dell’ingegneria chimica e meccanica

If you are a Chemical Engineer working/wanting to work in Industry, this book is for you. Absolutely recommend this great book!

Very bad printing quality. Book is damaged. The Book content is what I m looked for. The price / print quality ratio very bad.

Libro davvero utilissimo, davvero ricco di informazioni su come progettare diverse operazioni unitarie, fornisce anche qualche informazione come formule alternative a grafici che è difficile reperire altrove.
