Description
As chemical processes have grown more complex, so have the safety systems required to prevent accidents. Chemical Process Safety, Third Edition, offers students a more fundamental understanding of safety and the application required to safely design and manage today's sophisticated processes. The third edition continues the definitive standard of the previous editions. The content has been extensively updated to today's techniques and procedures, and two new chapters have been added. A new chapter on chemical reactivity provides the information necessary to identify, characterize, control, and manage reactive chemical hazards. A new chapter on safety procedures and designs includes new content on safely management, and specific procedures including hot work permits, lock-tag-try, and vessel entry.

Introductory Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics, 2/e
Author(s) : J. Richard Elliot ISBN : 9789332524040 Imprint : Pearson Education ©Year : 2014 Release Date : 01/11/2013 Binding : Paperback List Price : INR 875.00 Language : English Description In this book, two leading experts and long-time instructors thoroughly explain therodynamics, taking the molecular perspective that working engineers require (and competitive books often avoid). This new Second Edition contains extensive new coverage of today's fast-growing biochemical engineering applications, notably biomass conversion to fuels and chemicals. It also presents many new MATLAB examples and tools to complement its previous usage of Excel and other software. Features • Clear, colloquial, easy to use - and the only book in its market that focuses on the molecular perspective working engineers need • Contains new MATLAB examples and tools, extensive new coverage of biochemical engineering and biomass conversions, and many other improvements • Teaches molecular modeling and product design techniques that are rapidly being adopted in the marketplace • Hierarchical instruction with increasing levels of detail: Content requiring deeper levels of theory is clearly delineated in separate sections and chapters • Early introduction to the overall perspective of composite systems like distillation columns, reactive processes, and biological systems • Learning objectives, problem-solving strategies for energy balances and phase equilibria, chapter summaries, and "important equations" for every chapter • Extensive practical examples, especially coverage of non-ideal mixtures, which include water contamination via hydrocarbons, polymer blending/recycling, oxygenated fuels, hydrogen bonding, osmotic pressure, electrolyte solutions, zwitterions and biological molecules, and other contemporary issues • Supporting software in formats for both MATLAB® and spreadsheets • Online supplemental sections and resources including instructor slides, ConcepTests, coursecast videos, and other useful resources   Contents Unit I: First and Second Laws Chapter 1: Basic Concepts Chapter 2: The Energy Balance Chapter 3: Energy Balances for Composite Systems Chapter 4: Entropy Chapter 5: Thermodynamics of Processes Unit II: Generalized Analysis of Fluid Properties Chapter 6: Classical Thermodynamics — Generalizations for Any Fluid Chapter 7: Engineering Equations of State for PVT Properties Chapter 8: Departure Functions Chapter 9: Phase Equilibrium in a Pure Fluid Unit III: Fluid Phase Equilibria in Mixtures Chapter 10: Introduction to Multicomponent Systems Chapter 11: An Introduction to Activity Models Chapter 12: Van der Waals Activity Models Chapter 13: Local Composition Activity Models Chapter 14: Liquid-Liquid and Solid-Liquid Phase Equilibria Chapter 15: Phase Equilibria in Mixtures by an Equation of State Chapter 16: Advanced Phase Diagrams Unit IV: Reaction Equilibria Chapter 17: Reaction Equilibria Chapter 18: Electrolyte Solutions Chapter 19: Molecular Association and Solvation Appendix A: Summary of Computer Programs Appendix B: Mathematics Appendix C: Strategies for Solving VLE Problems Appendix D: Models for Process Simulators Appendix E: Themodynamic Properties     About the Author J.
