What's NewNEW TO THIS EDITION
• The section on fluid viscosity in Chap. 3 is expanded to include simple theories
for gases and liquids. In later chapters, similar theories for thermal conductivity
and diffusivity are discussed and comparisons made.
• The analogies among momentum transfer, diffusion, and heat conduction are
given more emphasis, and the section on transient diffusion is expanded to include
an example of controlled-release drug delivery.
• New material in Chap. 25 deals with the use of powdered carbon to treat aqueous
waste in tanks, and expanded-bed adsorption that can be used for purification of
fermentation broths.
• Chapter 29 has a new section on diafiltration, a process often used in protein
purification. There is also an expanded treatment of ultrafiltration and microfiltration
of protein and polymer solutions.
• The discussion of filter cake washing is completely revised and a plot of some
data is included.
• Heat pipes and plate-type exchangers are included in the chapter on heatexchange
equipment.
• The distillation chapters contain revised sections on flash distillation, flooding
limits, and plate efficiency.
• Correlations for drying rates and a treatment of dryer thermal efficiency have
been added.
• Thirty percent of the end-of-chapter problems are new or revised for this edition.
Nearly all the problems can be solved with the aid of a pocket calculator, but for
a few, a computer solution is preferable. |
