Taylor & Francis, 2010 - 500 pages
Now available in its fully revised third edition, this practical guide explains
how to achieve consistently superior run lengths, low maintenance
expenditures, and unexcelled safety and reliability in all of your pump applications. Written by
two practicing engineers whose combined 80-years of experience include all conceivable facets
of pumping technology, this handbook details what facilities must do to achieve superior
performance and low life-cycle cost for pumps of all types and sizes.The Pump User's
Handbook: Life Extension, Third Edition includes updates on straight-pipe requirements
upstream of pump suction nozzles, details on temporary suction strainers, control strategies,
detailed explanations and fully illustrated coverage of all API seal plans in use today, and case
studies in mechanical seal upgrading. The demonstrated vulnerability of traditional oil slinger
rings is contrasted against the sound rationale of solid oil flinger discs widely used in Europe.
Small-scale oil mist lubrication units are highlighted and new field-installed pump vibration
limits are tabulated.This new edition maintains a focus on modern canned motor pumps that now
range to 700 hp and pressures in excess of 2000 psi. Recessed impeller pumps with advantageous
axial-spiral discharge volutes and energy-efficient "Split-Flow" pumps are explained. The text
also provides details on combining pump maintenance with systematic upgrading.Aimed at
operating technicians, maintenance professionals, project engineers, reliability engineers and
managers, the book is intended for every job function that comes in contact with process pumps.
Utilities, power generation facilities, pulp and paper plants, consumer product manufacturers,
pharmaceutical plants, mining operations, chemical and petrochemical plants, municipal works,
oil and gas pipelines, and oil refineries are among those that can significantly profit from
implementing the guidelines described in this unique, experience-based text.

Book Description
Publication Date: December 31, 2012 | ISBN-10: 0831134461 | ISBN-13: 978-0831134464 | Edition: 1
This is a solid reference book for plumbers and welders who need more information on pipe "fitting''(vs.
''bending''); contains an excellent section on ''rigging'' and valuable welding applications. The unique 8-
1/2'' X 11'' format makes effective use of a lot of company-supplied, ''real-world'' drawings, drafting art,
photos, and tables. Unlike in other books of its kind the tables and drawings do not spill over multiple
pages, making it easier for the user to understand what is illustrated. Written with the ''academic''
market in mind as well, it's a perfect fit for a course the author taught on piping and pipe fitting in a
drafting lab at a high-end community college.

Chemical Engineering: An Introduction

Morton Denn
Cambridge University Press, 30-Sep-2011 - Technology & Engineering
0 Reviews
'Chemical engineering is the field of applied science that employs physical, chemical, and biological rate
processes for the betterment of humanity'. This opening sentence of Chapter 1 has been the underlying
paradigm of chemical engineering. Chemical Engineering: An Introduction is designed to enable the
student to explore the activities in which a modern chemical engineer is involved by focusing on mass
and energy balances in liquid-phase processes. Problems explored include the design of a feedback level
controller, membrane separation, hemodialysis, optimal design of a process with chemical reaction and
separation, washout in a bioreactor, kinetic and mass transfer limits in a two-phase reactor, and the use
of the membrane reactor to overcome equilibrium limits on conversion. Mathematics is employed as a
language at the most elementary level. Professor Morton M. Denn incorporates design meaningfully;
the design and analysis problems are realistic in format and scope.

Process Control: Theory and Applications

Jean-Pierre Corriou
Springer Science & Business Media, 18-Mar-2004 - Computers - 752 pages
1 Review
In Process Control, a wide range of identification and control methods applicable to processes
are accompanied by typical comparable examples, encouraging you to make comparisons.
The initial classical approach to continuous control by transfer functions will be of enormous
benefit, whether you are a student beginning in control or an engineer in industry who, up until
now, has only had a superficial or empirical contact with control. The more advanced material on
discrete control and state-space control, as well as nonlinear control and observers, requires
minimal previous knowledge, allowing you to make better use of techniques with proven
performance.
Introduces concepts of progressively increasing difficulty, smoothing the path to learning the
more advanced theories and control methods.
For each topic, the theories, techniques and algorithms are presented in detail, with numberous
references.
The comparative consideration of different approaches to similar problems deepens your
understanding.
Examples that you can reproduce to master the different techniques.
Broad coverage creates an important synthesis of the spectrum of control theory and its process-
industry-related applications. Different levels of reading are possible, opening this powerful
source of information to engineers, academics, researchers and students alike.

Practical Plant Failure Analysis: A Guide to Understanding Machinery
Deterioration and Improving Equipment Reliability (Google eBook)

Neville W. Sachs
CRC Press, 18-Aug-2006 - Technology & Engineering - 288 pages
2 Reviews
Component failures result from a combination of factors involving materials science, mechanics,
thermodynamics, corrosion, and tribology. With the right guidance, you dont have to be an authority in
all of these areas to become skilled at diagnosing and preventing failures. Based on the authors more
than thirty years of experience, Practical Plant Failure Analysis: A Guide to Understanding Machinery
Deterioration and Improving Equipment Reliability is a down-to-earth guide to improving machinery
maintenance and reliability.
Illustrated with hundreds of diagrams and photographs, this book examines...
When and how to conduct a physical failure analysis
Basic material properties including heat treating mechanisms, work hardening, and the
effects of temperature changes on material properties
The differences in appearance between ductile overload, brittle overload, and fatigue
failures
High cycle fatigue and how to differentiate between high stress concentrations and high
operating stresses
Low cycle fatigue and unusual fatigue situations
Lubrication and its influence on the three basic bearing designs
Ball and roller bearings, gears, fasteners, V-belts, and synchronous belts
Taking a detailed and systematic approach, Practical Plant Failure Analysis thoroughly
explains the four major failure mechanismswear, corrosion, overload, and fatigueas well as
how to identify them. The author clearly identifies how these mechanisms appear in various
components and supplies convenient charts that demonstrate how to identify the specific causes
of failure.

The Economics of Contracts: Theories and Applications

Eric Brousseau, Jean-Michel Glachant
Cambridge University Press, 17-Oct-2002 - Business & Economics - 584 pages
0 Reviews
A contract is an agreement under which two parties make reciprocal commitments in terms of their
behavior to coordinate. As this concept has become essential to economics in the last 30 years, three
main theoretical frameworks have emerged: 'incentive theory', 'incomplete-contract theory' and
'transaction-costs theory'. These frameworks have enabled scholars to renew both the microeconomics
of coordination (with implications for industrial organization, labor economics, law and economics,
organization design) and the macroeconomics of 'market' (decentralized) economies and of the
institutional framework. These developments have resulted in new analyses of a firm's strategy and
State intervention (regulation of public utilities, anti-trust, public procurement, institutional design,
liberalization policies, etc.). Based on contributions by the leading scholars in the field, this 2002 book
provides an overview of developments in these analytical currents, presents their various aspects, and
proposes expanding horizons for theoreticians and practitioners.

The First Law of Thermodynamics states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed.
Heat exchangers are devices built for efficient heat transfer from one fluid to another. They
are widely used in engineering processes and include examples such as intercoolers,
preheaters, boilers and condensers in power plants. Heat exchangers are becoming more and
more important to manufacturers striving to control energy costs.

Process Heat Transfer Rules of Thumb investigates the design and implementation of
industrial heat exchangers. It provides the background needed to understand and master the
commercial software packages used by professional engineers for design and analysis of heat
exchangers. This book focuses on the types of heat exchangers most widely used by industry,
namely shell-and-tube exchangers (including condensers, reboilers and vaporizers), air-cooled
heat exchangers and double-pipe (hairpin) exchangers. It provides a substantial introduction
to the design of heat exchanger networks using pinch technology, the most efficient strategy
used to achieve optimal recovery of heat in industrial processes.

Utilizes leading commercial software important to professional engineers designing heat
exchangers.
Illustrates design procedures using complete step-by-step worked examples.
Provides details on how to develop an initial configuration for a heat exchanger and how to
systematically modify it to obtain a final design.
Abundant example problems solved manually and with the integration of computer
software.

Book Description
Publication Date: 9 January 1975


First published in 1975 as the third edition of a 1957 original, this book presents the
fundamental ideas of fluid flow, viscosity, heat conduction, diffusion, the energy and
momentum principles, and the method of dimensional analysis. These ideas are subsequently
developed in terms of their important practical applications, such as flow in pipes and
channels, pumps, compressors and heat exchangers. Later chapters deal with the equation of
fluid motion, turbulence and the general equations of forced convection. The final section
discusses special problems in process engineering, including compressible flow in pipes, solid
particles in fluid flow, flow through packed beds, condensation and evaporation. This book
will be of value to anyone with an interest the wider applications of fluid mechanics and heat
transfer.

This book is designed to serve senior-level engineering students taking a capstone
design course in fluid and thermal systems design. It is built from the ground up with
the needs and interests of practicing engineers in mind; the emphasis is on practical
applications. The book begins with a discussion of design methodology, including the
process of bidding to obtain a project, and project management techniques. The text
continues with an introductory overview of fluid thermal systems (a pump and
pumping system, a household air conditioner, a baseboard heater, a water slide, and a
vacuum cleaner are among the examples given), and a review of the properties of
fluids and the equations of fluid mechanics. The text then offers an in-depth
discussion of piping systems, including the economics of pipe size selection. Janna
examines pumps (including net positive suction head considerations) and piping
systems. He provides the reader with the ability to design an entire system for moving
fluids that is efficient and cost-effective. Next, the book provides a review of basic
heat transfer principles, and the analysis of heat exchangers, including double pipe,
shell and tube, plate and frame cross flow heat exchangers. Design considerations for
these exchangers are also discussed. The text concludes with a chapter of term
projects that may be undertaken by teams of students.

Book Description
Publication Date: 21 December 1995
A comprehensive and rigorous introduction to thermal system design from a contemporary
perspective Thermal Design and Optimization offers readers a lucid introduction to the latest
methodologies for the design of thermal systems and emphasizes engineering economics,
system simulation, and optimization methods. The methods of exergy analysis, entropy
generation minimization, and thermoeconomics are incorporated in an evolutionary manner.
This book is one of the few sources available that addresses the recommendations of the
Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology for new courses in design engineering.
Intended for classroom use as well as selfstudy, the text provides a review of fundamental
concepts, extensive reference lists, endofchapter problem sets, helpful appendices, and a
comprehensive case study that is followed throughout the text. Contents include:
Introduction to Thermal System Design Thermodynamics, Modeling, and Design Analysis
Exergy Analysis Heat Transfer, Modeling, and Design Analysis Applications with Heat and
Fluid Flow Applications with Thermodynamics and Heat and Fluid Flow Economic Analysis
Thermoeconomic Analysis and Evaluation Thermoeconomic Optimization Thermal Design
and Optimization offers engineering students, practicing engineers, and technical managers a
comprehensive and rigorous introduction to thermal system design and optimization from a
distinctly contemporary perspective. Unlike traditional books that are largely oriented toward
design analysis and components, this forwardthinking book aligns itself with an increasing
number of active designers who believe that more effective, systemoriented design methods
are needed. Thermal Design and Optimization offers a lucid presentation of thermodynamics,
heat transfer, and fluid mechanics as they are applied to the design of thermal systems. This
book broadens the scope of engineering design by placing a strong emphasis on engineering
economics, system simulation, and optimization techniques. Opening with a concise review of
fundamentals, it develops design methods within a framework of industrial applications that
gradually increase in complexity. These applications include, among others, power generation
by large and small systems, and cryogenic systems for the manufacturing, chemical, and food
processing industries. This unique book draws on the best contemporary thinking about
design and design methodology, including discussions of concurrent design and quality
function deployment. Recent developments based on the second law of thermodynamics are
also included, especially the use of exergy analysis, entropy generation minimization, and
thermoeconomics. To demonstrate the application of important design principles introduced,
a single case study involving the design of a cogeneration system is followed throughout the
book. In addition, Thermal Design and Optimization is one of the best new sources available
for meeting the recommendations of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology
for more design emphasis in engineering curricula. Supported by extensive reference lists,
endofchapter problem sets, and helpful appendices, this is a superb text for both the
classroom and selfstudy, and for use in industrial design, development, and research. A
detailed solutions manual is available from the publisher.

Foreword:- It is surprising that we had to wait so long for a new book that gives a
comprehensive treatment of chlor-alkali manufacturing technology. Technologists are largely
still making do with the classical book edited by Sconce, but that is more than thirty years old.
At the time of its publication, metal anodes were just beginning to appear, and ion-exchange
membrane technology was confined to laboratories. The various encyclopedias of industrial
technology have more up-to-date information, but they are necessarily limited in their scope.
Schmittinger recently provided an excellent shorter treatment of the broad field of chlorine
technology and applications. After discussing electrolysis and the principal types of cell, this,
too, gives rather brief coverage to brine and product processing. It then follows on with
descriptions of the major derivatives and direct uses of chlorine and a discussion of
environmental issues.
The last feature named above has relieved the authors of this work of the obligation to cover
applications in any detail. Instead, they provide a concentrated treatment of all aspects of
technology and handling directly related to the products of electrolysis. It covers the field
from a history of the industry, through the fundamentals of thermodynamics and
electrochemistry, to the treatment and disposal of the waste products of manufacture.
Membrane cells are considered the state of the art, but the book does not ignore mercury
and diaphragm cells. They are considered both from a historical perspective and as examples
of current technology that is still evolving and improving. Dear to the heart of a director of
Euro Chlor, the book also pays special attention to safe handling of the products, the
obligations of Responsible Care, and process safety management.
Other major topics include corrosion, membranes, electrolyzer design, brine preparation and
treatment, and the design and operation of processing facilities. Perhaps uniquely, the book
also includes a chapter on plant commissioning. The coverage of membranes is both
fundamental and applied. The underlying transport processes and practical experience with
existing types of membrane both are covered. The same is true of electrolyzer design. The
book explores the basic electrode processes and the fundamentals of current distribution in
electrolyzers as well as the characteristics of the leading cell designs. The authors have chosen
to treat the critical subject of brine treatment in two separate chapters. The chapter on brine
production and treatment first covers the sources of salt and the techniques used to prepare
brine. It then explains the mechanisms by which brine impurities affect cell performance and
outlines the processes by which they can be removed or controlled. While pointing out the
lack of fundamental science in much of the process, it describes the various unit operations
phenomenologically and discusses methods for sizing equipment and choosing materials of
construction. The chapter on processing and handling of products is similarly comprehensive.
Again, it is good to see that the authors have included a lengthy discussion of safe methods
and facilities for the handling of the products, particularly liquid chlorine. While the discussion
of the various processing steps includes the topic of process control, there is also a separate
chapter on instrumentation which is more hardware-oriented.
Other chapters deal with utility systems, cell room design and arrangement (with an emphasis
on direct current supply), alternative processes for the production of either chlorine or caustic
without the other, the production of hypochlorite, industrial hygiene, and speculations on
future developments in technology. There is an Appendix with selected physical property
data.
