About the Book:

Unit Operations of Chemical Engineering, 7th Edition continues its tradition as one of the most comprehensive texts in the field, serving as a cornerstone for undergraduate chemical engineering education. First published in 1956, this book remains a key reference for students and professionals in chemical engineering, offering an in-depth exploration of the principles and practices of unit operations.

The seventh edition features extensive updates, including the addition of new topics like food processing, biotechnology, and modern techniques such as diafiltration, adsorption, and membrane operations. The book is structured into four major sections: fluid mechanics, heat transfer, mass transfer and equilibrium stages, and operations involving particulate solids, each with practical examples and theory.

Key Features:

• Balanced approach to theory and engineering practice, with practical examples included.

• New sections and expanded content:

  • Fluid viscosity theory for gases and liquids.

  • Updated mass-transfer section with chapters on adsorption and membrane operations.

  • Revised discussions on filter cake washing and new techniques in fixed-bed separations.

  • New chapter on adsorption and fixed-bed separations, particularly in wastewater treatment.

• Modern topics covered, including food processing, biotechnology, and up-to-date correlations for heat transfer, mass transfer, and equipment design.

• Revised distillation chapters covering flash distillation, flooding limits, and plate efficiency.

• In-depth coverage of drying rates and dryer thermal efficiency.

This book is ideal for undergraduate students of chemical engineering and serves as a comprehensive reference for practitioners in the field.
