Reference Book on Chemical Engineering ~ Volume 1
By
D. Sen.
PREFACE
A Chemical Engineer needs to know not only the inside changes in a Production
Process viz. Chemical, Physical, Thermochemical, Thermodynamics and Kinetics, but
also he has to know the basics of other engineering disciplines as well as current
developments. During my long service period in Production, Process Design and Projects,
I found most of these information are available at different sources and is not always
possible to acquire this information always. 'Ib meet these gaps, I have given as much
information as possible in Volume I and Volume II of this book on various processes, data
tables, some unit operations etc. usually required by Professional Chemical Engineers
and Chemical Engg. students. In addition, a chapter on Glossary of Terms has a]so been
provided for refreshing the essential information un chemistry and other topics.
In preparation of this "Reference Book on Chemical Engineering" some senior
engineers working in chemical industries have extended support in preparation of some
chap~n; ; ip particular 1 like to thank K. OM Ex. ED, KRIBHCO, Hazirll; D.K Roy,
Ex. GM, Namrup Fertiliser Unit; KP. Sinha, ~r. Development Engineer, DCL, Professor
U.P. Ganguly, Retired, Chern. Engg. Deptt., Lr~T. Kharagpur had reviewed this book.
The index for words had been provided. The author also likes to thank Ms. B. Sen for
secretarial assistance in preparation of the manuscript..
