About the Book:Learning Chemical Engineering for Process Industries is not merely a book to impart information on the process systems to the budding chemical engineers; it also seeks to enlighten the students and the fresh chemical engineers with complete knowledge required at their level and facilitate their education, training & probation in a better way.The book has been targeted to teach the chemical engineering students about the basics and the practical aspects that often go ‘un-taught’ in the classrooms. The chapters of the book are meant to give working knowledge and shop floor information relating to chemical engineering practices to fresh graduates and those on probation in industries. The book covers both applied and factual aspects of chemical engineering in process industries. The theoretical knowledge included is to facilitate the students and fresh engineers in understanding the basics and the practical issues in a better way.
