Mass transfer operations for the practicing engineer /

Includes bibliographical references and index..

"Part of the Essential Engineering Calculations Series, this book presents step-by-step solutions of the basic principles of mass transfer operations, including sample problems and solutions and their applications, such as distillation, absorption, and stripping. Presenting the subject from a strictly pragmatic point of view, providing both the principles of mass transfer operations and their applications, with clear instructions on how to carry out the basic calculations needed, the book also covers topics useful for readers taking their professional exams"--.

"The book is divided into three parts: Introduction, Applications, and Other Topics. The first part provides a series of chapters concerned with principles that are required when solving most engineering problems, including those in mass transfer operations. The second part deals exclusively with specific mass transfer operations, e.g., distillation, absorption and stripping, adsorption, etc. The last part provides an overview of ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology) related topics as they apply to mass transfer operations, plus novel mass transfer processes"--.
