This volume is restyled and includes some changes with respect to the previous version, affecting chapters and sections (eg crystallisation, gas cleaning) leaving scope for other topics (membrane separation, product design).

This book represents an extensive volume (in the order of 800 pages) that covers most aspects of particle technology including size reduction as well as size enlargement and in some cases with a lot of detail. Noting the deficiency, I tried to incorporate particle technology as much as possible into the curriculum I created, squeezing related topics into areas that more traditionally focus on liquids and gases, and unit operations that deal with mixtures of both phases. This is something I faced myself, as I was designing the curriculum for the new chemical engineering degree at the University of Greenwich, UK. Particles are everywhere in industry and a cause of headache to practising engineers and scientists in areas from raw materials to intermediates and products from biopharmaceuticals to catalysts and from manufacturing to technical sales.Īt the same time, it is recognised internationally that there is a lack of courses in particle technology at undergraduate and postgraduate level. This complete reference to chemical engineering will support you throughout your career, as it covers every key chemical engineering topic.Ĭoulson and Richardson’s Chemical Engineering: Volume 1A: Fluid Flow: Fundamentals and Applications, Seventh Edition, covers momentum transfer (fluid flow) which is one of the three main transport processes of interest to chemical engineers.Throughout all stages of their careers, the chances are really high that practising chemical engineers will face, and sometimes struggle with, particulate materials in all forms. The authoritative style of the original volumes 1 to 3 has been retained, but the content has been brought up to date and altered to be more useful to practicing engineers. A worldwide team of editors and contributors have pooled their experience in adding new content and revising the old. Each reference book provides clear explanations of theory and thorough coverage of practical applications, supported by case studies. Coulson and Richardson's Chemical Engineering has been fully revised and updated to provide practitioners with an overview of chemical engineering.
