Butterworth-Heinemann, 1990. — 773 p. — ISBN: 0750693851.This is an excellent book that can serve as the text for an undergraduate course in plant design. It will also be very useful as a sourcebook for process-design engineers that work for smaller companies that do not have their own process equipment design standards. The new authors have done an outstanding job in updating and expanding the original book by Professor WalasList of ExamplesRules of Thumb: SummaryFlowsheets
