Chemical Engineer's Condensed Encyclopedia of Process Equipment

Purchase Link	Buy This Book at Amazon.com
Bottom Line	For a quick reference guide on process equipment, this book fills the void. However, if you need more information, you won't find any references to help you. The coverage of the wide range of process equipment is spotty. For the equipment that is covered, the author does a good job explaining what the pieces of equipment do, common problems, and how they fit into a process.

Optimization of Chemical Processes

Bottom Line	If you're tired of seeing math professors try to tackle the subject of chemical process optimization, you're in luck. Edgar and Himmelblau successfully cover each topic while tying them to actual unit operations along the way.

Bottom Line	This is more information than you'll find anywhere about the most popular processes used in the refining industry. Even the companies that license these technologies don't tell you this much on their own websites or literature. If you're involved in the refining industry, get this book!

Bottom Line

If you still have three books from your undergraduate program on your shelf to cover these three topics, you may not need them any longer. While the authors may have intended this book to act as both a reference manual and a textbook, it makes a much better reference book. The three topics are just too broad to cover in one book for students learning the subjects for the first time. However, if you've already learned the basics, this book would make a great addition to your library.

Bottom Line	For a holistic view of chemical engineering design, this books provides as much, if not more, than any other book available on the topic. Nearly every subject is accompanied by examples and new technologies are also addressed. In short, a complete, well written and illustrated resource that is a pleasure to use. The singular weakness may be the design projects included in this volume.
