An unbeatable resource.......2006-11-08
Perry's Chemical Engineers' Handbook handbook is really a mixed bag, and how useful it turns out to be is really a matter of what kind of information you are looking for. I've always felt that this is the definitive book if you want raw facts and numbers. The entire volume is crammed with technical data that, for some, can't be found elsewhere. All the groundwork is covered; conversion factors, symbols, kinetics, interdisciplinary studies (several), thermodynamics, and just about anything else that coincides with the field of engineering. On a personal level, I've used it on several occasions when collecting field data, but its uses go well beyond that. For the sheer amount of information covered, the volume remains fairly well organized, and never veers too far from what you are researching.
The downside is that it can often seem overwhelming to students or those with passing involvement or interest. Despite the dependable presentation, it can be difficult to understand for people who haven't been brought up to speed on the variation of the topic they wish to examine. Even though the all the data is present, understanding it won't be easy until you've familiarized yourself and comprehend the tables and usage. Some claim that the book was written primarily for academics, though I don't see that as true. Anyone can use the book effectively once they get the hang of it.
Even though it might have some drawbacks, I truly can't see how anyone in the field of Chemical Engineering could not have this book on their shelf. It is the ultimate source of chemical data and interdisciplinary studies. If you don't yet own this one, I really can't see how you can go wrong in purchasing it.
This is so funny.......2006-04-21
Check out what that kid wrote on October 25, 1999. He gave the book one star. Someone find him and tell him how much of an idiot he is. He wrote the dumbest thing I have ever seen. Who the hell reads Perry's cover to cover. Is he really that dumb just go buy a book about making bombs if you want to "make bombs". Another thing any normal person would realize after the first million pages is that Chemical Engineers don't learn how to make bombs. what a retard. Oh yeah, good book
Good service.......2006-02-02
I got the book in a very short time and the process was also quick. 2 years ago, I had a problem with an Amazon affiliated store and took me such a long time to get my money refunded but this time, Amazon did a great job.
Thank you for shipping in time!
Practicing Professional Feedback.......2005-12-28
Well, I have used it a couple of times for / during many of our field assignments, where we needed authentic information. The charts & tables contained in it are highly useful
Great Professional Handbook on CD.......2005-10-07
To receive the CD in such a short time from the US to Belgium was already a surprise.
For our consultancy job in safety risk analysis this CD of the handbook is a Must to have it always available for look-up.
Thanks
Book Description
The latest principles, processes, and practices
Chemical engineering design is in a constant state of flux. From advances in the practice of separation operations in chemical engineering to corresponding changes in the curriculum, much has happened in the seven years since the publication of Seader and Henley's first edition of Separation Process Principles, including: (1) advances in the fundamentals of mass, heat, and momentum transport, (2) wide availability of computer programs to facilitate the application of mathematical models to a wide range of separation operations, (3) increasing interest in separations involving the solid phase, and (4) changes in the practice of chemical engineering to emphasize product design as well as process design. This second edition reflects these changes.
Highlights of the second edition
- Chapter on crystallization, including thermodynamic and transport aspects, the MSMPR crystallizer model, and treatments of screen analysis, desublimation, and evaporation
- Chapter on drying of solids, including treatments of psychrometry and several dryer mathematical models
- Chapter on leaching of solids, including a discussion of the espresso machine
- Substantial new sections on ultrafiltration and microfiltration, including detailed examples
- Added section on simulated-moving-bed adsorption, including detailed examples
- Expansion of the treatment of batch distillation to include optimal control
- New sections on hybrid systems and membrane cascades
- Now includes 214 examples and 649 homework exercises

THANKS FOR YOU HELP FOR SELLING ME THE BOOK.
Excellent Used & New Book through Amazon vendor!.......2007-01-06
Exactly as the vendor described on Amazon
Aspen heavy.......2006-07-01
During my final year of undergrad coursework I used this textbook for my design courses. The good thing is Dr. Seader was the professor for my second design course. As a teacher I think he is great with an ability to effectively communicate theory and its practical application without getting caught up in the details. Unfortunately I felt this textbook tries to consolidate the knowledge he has gained in his career resulting in a very dense book. Some problems are solved using direct calculations but a large amount are done using Aspen (a program no one in my class had used) which I felt didn't adequately help develop sequential problem solving skills. The costing analysis theory is good but most of us used Peters & Timerhaus for homework. If you work with Aspen or want a detailed book this will satisfy your desires.
It gets no stars from me.......2006-05-27
My professor for separations was really smart, but like most chemical engineering professors that I have met, they are too smart for their own good. He chosed this book because it was "easy to understand".
Chemical engineering is hard enough, and the fact that this book is used in most separations classes does not help. Each chapter starts off with an industrial example, which is confusing if you're not familar with it already. The authors just throw out concepts that you've never heard before and assume you're an industry expert. As thorough as the book is, you won't feel like a better person after having read it. The authors don't seem to want to teach the subject but rather flaunt their knowledge. The most annoying thing is when the authors get to solving problems. They just start applying equation after equation and don't tell the readers where they get it from. Sometimes, it's not even an equation from that chapter or from the book!
I don't consider myself a bad student, but I seriously could not do most of the assigned problems at the end of the book. How do I become a chemical engineer then? I prefer McCabe's Unit Operations in Chemical Engineering. Although it is not as thorough, and the equations are presented differently, I actually learned something and was interested in the subject matter. The authors relate the theory to real life, and it actually makes sense. In fact, I had to use the McCabe to solve some of the problems from this hellish book.
Bad book to start learning the subject from.......2004-12-19
I had this book as an undergrad and it was terrible. Presentation is muddy, dense, and esoteric - difficult to wade through. We also happened to have a poor teacher for the course; my whole class was lost the entire semester. It felt like a near total waste of time, and it was disconcerting not to know what was going on. Now that I am a grad student in chemical engineering I've actually found parts of the book useful as reference material. But if you have a mediocre teacher, you're new to the subject (undergrad), and this is your assigned textbook I suggest you get supplementary material if you want to know what is going on. I would recommend you get your supplementary material at the beginning of the semester, too, before you get lost in the woods. A search through Amazon on different mass transport books should help you find the right book. Be sure to read reviews before buying though so you don't get stuck with two bad books. There's always Google too if you're stuck with the book, don't have a reference and want to decode what the heck is going on.

Customer Reviews:
Almost perfect........2007-08-12
If you really need to learn distillation, liquid-liquid extraction and other equilibrium-staged separations this is the book. Clear, straight and concise. Small printing mistakes can be easily overcome.
Don't waste your money.......2007-03-10
An abomination. Clarified nothing. Obfuscated everything. Poorly illustrated. Sent me running to the library for alternate sources.
Full of Mistakes.......2007-01-29
I'm only 3 chapters into this book and the number of mistakes in it is appalling. The author consistently refers to the wrong equations, messes up derivations of essential equations (the operating line, for one), and is not very well written, either. It also is almost entirely about distillation.
I will not be looking forward to the rest of the semester with this book.
Liquid-Liquid Extraction.......2001-01-16
Factors effecting liquid-liquid extraction. Different organic materials used in extraction of radionuclides especially crown ether

Customer Reviews:
Amazing book. This book is all you need........2007-09-29
This book is all you need for an undergraduate course in transport processes and/or separation processes. It is well illustrated and the problems are very demonstrative. Its a must have for the chemical engineering student.
Good Explainations, but still requires thought.......2007-01-10
I used this book as an undergrad in chemical engineering. It does a good job at walking you through the concepts without being watered down. The appendix is also great, as I used the physical data information listed in all my courses as a quick reference.
Good for separations techniques.......2006-03-02
The only review that I can give for the text would be for the separations sections, of which our class concentrated mainly on the distillation regime. Excellent structured pairing of chapter labeling with homework and example problems. Open-ended problems required a sufficient level of engineering skills.
Book Description
The most common activated sludge operating problems causing poor plant performance are related to solids separation. Especially common are bulking and foaming. Without a proper scientific foundation to support the efforts of wastewater treatment plant management, many attempts to thwart bulking and foaming have failed. Manual on Solving Activated Sludge Bulking, Foaming, and Other Solids Separation Problems provides the critical scientific and practical underpinnings needed to understand and combat these problems. The third edition of this flagship text is a comprehensive, concise guide to the microbiological and technical aspects of controlling all types of solid separation problems. The scientific theory is applied to real-world scenarios, greatly increasing the number of real-world examples of successful control methods. New information is also included on filamentous organism growth and its application in the control of sludge bulking and foaming. Now plant operators, regulators and wastewater engineers have a complete guide for battling these formidable design and operating problems.
