Review: As a student, I had come to appreciate M. Cheremisinoff work. What a shame he dared to sign such a "book". Presentation is lame, design informations is either basic or incomplete
DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK. You'll save money, believe me
This "BOOK" is not worth a dime.

Summary: What a mistake!
Review: The Table of Contents of this book is completely erroneous (and it appears in the Butterworth-Heinemann Web). This is the real one: Chapter 1. Heat Exchange Equipment. Chapter 2. Evaporative Cooling Equipment. Chapter 3. Evaporating and Drying Equipment. Chapter 4. Distillation Equipment. Chapter 5. Mass Separation Equipment. Chapter 6. Mechanical Separation Equipment. Chapter 7. Mixing Equipment. Chapter 8. Calculations for Select Operations.

Summary: Handbook of Chemical Processing Equipment
Review: This is an excellent reference book for a seasoned engineer and for project engineering managers. It is not a stand alone textbook for students, which may disappoint young professionals. However, what it lacks from a college textbook standpoint, the volume more than makes up for with very practical design and operating information for a wide variety of process equipment used throughout the CPI. It clearly has been written by a seasoned engineer who has extensive design and process experience. The book is a strong reference for process engineers and likely a good supplemental textbook for the more aggressive students of chemical engineering. Practicing engineers will find this to be a good volume to leaf through for ideas, additional resources to obtain more in-depth information on, and to troubleshoot operational problems with certain types of equipment, particularly heat exchangers. It is highly recommended for the practicing engineer.
