Plant Design and Economics for Chemical Engineers

by Max Stone Peters, Ronald E. West, Klaus D. Timmerhaus

The fifth edition of Plant Design and Economics for Chemical Engineers is a major revision of the popular fourth edition. There are new chapters on process synthesis, computer-aided design, and design of chemical reactors. A traditionally strong feature of the text, economic analysis, has been revamped and updated. Another strength, equipment sizing and cost estimation, is updated and expanded as well. These improvements also reflect changes in equipment availability. The numerous real examples throughout the book include computer or hand solutions, and often both. There is a new increased emphasis on computer use in design, economic evaluation, and optimization. Concepts, strategies, and approaches to computer use are featured. These concepts are not tied to particular software programs and therefore apply to wide a range of applications software, of both current and future release.

This widely used text is now more useful than ever, providing a "one-stop" guide to chemical process design and evaluation.

Lucid, detailed, and very informative, this textbook is one the best I've ever come across. Peters manages to combine a level of rigor and clarity that is hard to come by. The text contains many chapters that I have found to be redundant to the senior chemical engineering student but would come in handy as a reminder of the information one has forgotten about. Overall, this is the go-to choice for a chemical engineering plant design text for any chemical engineering student!
