CHOICE Review
Here is the new edition (7th ed., CH, Feb'98, 35-3079) of the venerable Perry's Chemical Engineers' Handbook. When this reviewer was an undergraduate chemical engineering major, all of the good students purchased their own copy of the sixth edition. He recalls spending hours flipping through its pages, the volume comparable in size to a New York City phone book, and marveling at the collective knowledge of his new chosen profession. Where else can one quickly look up the pressure drop across a half-open gate valve, or the void fraction of a column packed with Raschig rings? In today's plugged-in society, with so much information ready at one's fingertips (e.g., Wikipedia), it is perhaps not necessary for every undergraduate to own a copy of this reference. However, Perry's Handbook remains the definitive resource for process engineering, and is a must have for university libraries and practicing chemical engineers everywhere. This new edition contains updated data and is the heftiest version yet at more than 2,700 pages; it will enable a trained engineer to handle any process design contingency with confidence. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals, and especially practicing chemical engineers. M. R. King University of RochesterAuthor notes provided by Syndetics
