Plant Design and Economics for Chemical Engineers (Mcgraw Hill Chemical Engineering Series)
By Max Stone Peters, Klaus D. Timmerhaus

Book Description:

A revision of the classic text-reference for the chemical engineering "design" course usually offered to all Chemical Engineers at the junior/senior level. This new edition contains the latest cost data as well as new emphasis on safety and H42OPS and a new chapter on Computer-Aided Design. The book nicely balances both economics (cost estimating and cost data) and process equipment design in one text.
