Handbook of Storage Tank Systems: Codes: Regulations, and Designs

Handbook of Storage Tank Systems: Codes: Regulations, and Designs
by:GEYER


A survey of manufacturing and installation methods, standards, and specifications of factory-made steel storage tanks and appurtenances for petroleum, chemicals, hydrocarbons, and other flammable or combustible liquids. It chronicles the trends towards aboveground storage tanks, secondary containment, and corrosion-resistant underground steel storage systems.

Process Engineering Economics (Chemical Industries)
by: James Couper

Description

This reference outlines the fundamental concepts and strategies for economic assessments for informed management decisions in industry. The book illustrates how to prepare capital cost and operating expense estimates, profitability analyses, and feasibility studies, and execute sensitivity and uncertainty assessments. From financial reports to opportunity costs and engineering trade-offs, Process Engineering Economics considers a wide range of alternatives for profitable investing and for projecting outcomes in various chemical and engineering fields and monitors costs, finances, and economic limitations at every stage of chemical project design, preparation, and evaluation.

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.

General Contents:

Process Design Development General Design Considerations Computer-Aided Design Cost and Asset Accounting Cost Estimation Interest and Investment Costs Taxes and Insurance Depreciation Profitaility, Alternative Investments and Replacements Optimum Design and Design Strategy Materials Selection and Equipment Fabrication The Design Report Materials Transfer, Handling and Treatment Equipment-Design and Costs Heat-Transfer Equipment-Design and Costs Mass-Transfer and Reactor Equipment-Design and Costs Statistical Analysis in Design Appendixes - The International System of Units - Auxiliary, Utility and Chemical Cost Data - Design Problems - Tables of Physical Properties and Constants

Description

"Process Equipment Design" focuses on the mechanical design of vessels used in the chemical processing industry.
By addressing an area where chemical engineers are typically weak, this book will be an extremely useful reference for engineers with a "less than structured" mechanical support team and for those you do have good mechanical support at work, this book will help you understand the mechanical limitations of the equipment that you specify.
The book is divided into the following main sections:

Factors Influencing the Design of Vessels
Criteria in Vessel Design
Design of Shells for Flat-Bottomed Cylindrical Vessels
Design of Bottoms and Roofs for Flat-Bottomed Cylindrical Vessels
Proportioning and Head Selection for Cylindrical Vessels with Formed Closures
Stress Considerations in the Selection of Flat-Plate and Conical Closures for Cylindrical Vessels
Stress Considerations in the Selection of Elliptical, Torispherical, and Hemispherical Dished Closure for Cylindrical Vessels
Design of Cylindrical Vessels with Formed Closures Operating under External Pressure
Design of Tall Vertical Vessels
Design of Supports for Vertical Vessels
Design of Horizontal Vessels with Saddle Supports
Design of Flanges
Design of Pressure Vessels to Code Specifications
High-Pressure Monobloc Vessels
Multilayer Vessels

Appendix A: Design Conventions
Appendix B: Welding Conventions
Appendix C: Pricing of Steel Plates
Appendix D: Allowable Stresses
Appendix E: Typical Tank Sizes and Capacities
Appendix F: Shell Accessories
Appendix G: Properties of Selected Rolled Structural Members
Appendix H: Values of Constant C of Eq. 13.27
Appendix I: Charts for Determining Shell Thickness of Cylindrical and Spherical Vessels under External Pressure
Appendix J: Properties of Various Sections and Beam Formulas
Appendix K: Properties of Pipe
Appendix L: Strength of Materials

Layout: The book is organized is way that takes the reader through the learning process step by step. We particularily liked how the authors sectioned the book based on the type of vessel being designed. The use of equations followed by easy-to-use charts was very nice to see.

Modeling in Transport Phenomena,A Conceptual Approach

Modeling in Transport Phenomena, Second Edition: A Conceptual Approach
by: Ismail Tosun

Book Description:

Modeling in Transport Phenomena, Second Edition presents and clearly explains with example problems the basic concepts and their applications to fluid flow, heat transfer, mass transfer, chemical reaction engineering and thermodynamics. A balanced approach is presented between analysis and synthesis, students will understand how to use the solution in engineering analysis. Systematic derivations of the equations and the physical significance of each term are given in detail, for students to easily understand and follow up the material.

There is a strong incentive in science and engineering to understand why a phenomenon behaves the way it does. For this purpose, a complicated real-life problem is transformed into a mathematically tractable problem while preserving the essential features of it. Such a process, known as mathematical modeling, requires understanding of the basic concepts. This book teaches students these basic concepts and shows the similarities between them. Answers to all problems are provided allowing students to check their solutions. Emphasis is on how to get the model equation representing a physical phenomenon and not on exploiting various numerical techniques to solve mathematical equations.

* A balanced approach is presented between analysis and synthesis, students will understand how to use the solution in engineering analysis.
* Systematic derivations of the equations as well as the physical significance of each term are given in detail
* Many more problems and examples are given than in the first edition - answers provided
