Om Prakash Gupta is orientd primarily for the students and young Chemical Engineers, it can be of great values to any one engaged in Chemical Engineering Profession. Inspite of Several traditional books being available, the need of a ready means of knoweldge has been long felt. Mr. Gupta has taken the trouble of filling this gap. The book's coverage is broad, the contents are well compiled, with good questions and arranged systematically. am sure, this book will be of great use. Dr. S.C. NaikPreface This book is meant for diploma students of chemical engineering and also petroleum engineering both for their academic programmes as well as for competitive examinations. This book contains 18 chapters covering the entire syllabus of diploma course in chemical engineering and petrochemical engineering. This book in its present form has been designed to serve as an encyclopedia of chemical engineering so as to be a ready reckoner apart from being useful for all types of written tests and interviews faced by chemical engineering and petrochemical engineering diploma students of the country. Since branch related subjects of petrochemical engineering are same as that of chemical engineering diploma students, so this book will be equally useful for diploma in petrochemical engineering students. All the constructive and useful suggestions for the further improvement of the book will be gladly accepted and incorporated in the future editions/reprints. — Om Prakash GuptaContents pen ane wn 11. 12. 13, 14, 15. 16. v7. 18.
