This revised handbook on chemical engineering includes new topics such as biochemical engineering, waste management, plant safety and analysis of plant performance, handling of hazardous materials, computer applications, expert systems, and material and energy balances.

    KEY TOPICS: This classic book enables readers to make connections between classical and modern physics - an indispensable part of a physicist's education. In this new edition, Beams Medal winner Charles Poole and John Safko have updated the book to include the latest topics, applications, and notation, to reflect today's physics curriculum. They introduce readers to the increasingly important role that nonlinearities play in contemporary applications of classical mechanics. New numerical exercises help readers to develop skills in how to use computer techniques to solve problems in physics. Mathematical techniques are presented in detail so that the book remains fully accessible to readers who have not had an intermediate course in classical mechanics. MARKET: For college instructors and students.

    Kern begins with an overview of heat transfer theory before focusing on specific design problems commonly experienced by engineers in the field--using numerous easy to understand and effective examples to help convey principles. The broadly applicable empirical calculation methods, extensive tables, and use of industry language and methodology make Process Heat Transfer a convenient and essential reference tool. A sample of just some of the chapters include: - Counterflow - Parallel-Counterflow - Flow Arrangement for Increased Heat Recovery - Streamline Flow and Free Convection - Condensation of Single Vapors - Vaporizers, Evaporators, and Reboilers
