This unique resource provides state-of-the-art coverage of both dispersion-hardened alloys and fiber-reinforced alloys-addressing principal mechanisms, processing, and applications.

The relationship between structure properties and processing materials is presented in detail within this book. Included are design examples of material on ceramics, polymers, and composites.

Authoritative and up to date, this is the perfect reference book for students of chemistry and general readers interested in the chemical nature of our physical surroundings.

The definitive reference to chemical process design: both detailed information and a practical framework for using it. Illustrates key concepts through a running example from the real world: the manufacture of benzene. Covers design, economic considerations, troubleshooting and health/environmental safety. Includes exclusive software for estimating chemical manufacturing equipment capital costs.

Contents-Review of Fluid Behavior and Characteristics. Fundamentals of Fluid Flow. Flow Measurement by Differential Flow Techniques. Positive Displacement Flowmeters. Mechanical Flowmeters. Magnetic Flow Measuring Systems. Mass Flow Measurement. Measurement of Open Channel and Sewer Flow. Appendix A: Unit Conversions. Appendix B: Solutions to Study Problems.

Concerned with application of special instrumental methods to problems in biology. Describes the use of x-ray crystallography in biochemistry. Reviews the application of both transmission microscopy and scanning probe microscopy to biological problems. Discusses well-developed techniques used primarily in clinical laboratories.

Revised extensively to bring readers the most up-to-date information, this applications-oriented text has been expanded to include newly developed techniques and new areas of the application of thermodynamics-in addition to explaining the rationale of thermodynamics. You'll find expanded coverage of: modified Van der Waals equations of state...the behavior of strong and weak electrolytes in aqueous solutions ...applications of thermodynamics to the area of biochemical engineering...and applications in the area of electronics material processing involving phase equilibrium and chemical equilibrium in the presence of solid phases. Includes a diskette with computer programs for executing computations.

Coulson and Richardson's classic series provides the student with an account of the fundamentals of chemical engineering and constitutes the definitive work on the subject for academics and practitioners. Each book provides clear explanations of theory and thorough coverage of practical applications, supported by numerous worked examples and problems. Thus, the text is designed for students as well as being comprehensive in coverage.

The publication of the third edition of 'Chemical Engineering Volume 3' marks the completion of the re-orientation of the basic material contained in the first three volumes of the series. Volume 3 is devoted to reaction engineering (both chemical and biochemical), together with measurement and process control. This text is designed for students, graduate and postgraduate, of chemical engineering.

This volume in the Coulson and Richardson series in chemical engineering contains full worked solutions to the problems in volume 1. Whilst the main volume contains illustrative worked examples throughout the text, this book, and its companion in the series (Volume 5 - which performs the same role with respect to Volumes 2 and 3), contains the answers to the more challenging questions posed at the end of each chapter of the main text. These questions are of both a standard and non-standard nature, and so will prove to be of interest to both academic staff teaching courses in this area and to the keen student. Chemical engineers in industry who are looking for a standard solution to a real-life problem will also find the book of considerable interest.

Advanced materials are substances such as composites (tennis rackets are graphite composites), super alloys (used in the aerospace industry) and advanced ceramics (used in semi-conductors, superconductors in the levitating bullet train, and tiles in the space shuttle.) This is the first volume in a new series, Chemistry of Advanced Materials, devoted to providing a broad perspective on materials chemistry and helping scientists and engineers understand the importance of chemistry in material science and engineering.

The Second Edition of Corrosion and Corrosion Protection Handbook continues to provide authoritative information on corrosion and offer practical solutions for corrosion reduction. Discussing progress in the field includes the development of materials for pollution control and methods of controlling or preventing corrosion.
