Ludwig’s Applied Process Design for Chemical and Petrochemical Plants (PDF/EPUB Version)

• Assists engineers in rapidly analyzing problems and finding effective design methods and mechanical specifications

• Definitive guide to the selection and design of various equipment types, including heat exchanger sizing and compressor sizing, with established design codes

• Batch heating and cooling of process fluids supported by Excel programs

DESCRIPTION

The fourth edition of Ludwig’s Applied Process Design for Chemical and Petrochemical
Plants, Volume Three is a core reference for chemical, plant, and process engineers and
provides an unrivalled reference on methods, process fundamentals, and supporting
design data.

New to this edition are expanded chapters on heat transfer plus additional chapters
focused on the design of shell and tube heat exchangers, double pipe heat exchangers
and air coolers. Heat tracer requirements for pipelines and heat loss from insulated
pipelines are covered in this new edition, along with batch heating and cooling of process
fluids, process integration, and industrial reactors. The book also looks at the
troubleshooting of process equipment and corrosion and metallurgy.

Ludwig’s Applied Process Design for Chemical and Petrochemical Plants, Volume 3, Fourth
Edition is a true application-driven book. It provides clarity and easy access to essential
process plant data and design information. It actually covers a complete range of basic
day-to-day chemical operation main elements….. This fourth edition is significantly
expanded and updated, with new topics that ensure readers can analyze problems and
find practical design methods and solution to accomplish their process design tasks. The
very large overview means that this reference manual can be well-used by both
academics and those in industry. João Hiluy, Book Review tce

This book represents a considerable amount of present-day engineering data and design
information that should not only be of extraordinary value to the process chemical
engineer looking for excellent information on Unit Operations equipment but also serves
as a detailed source of help for process design and equipment specifications. Art
