Book description
Part of the Essential Engineering Calculations Series, this book
presents step-by-step solutions of the basic principles of mass transfer
operations, including sample problems and solutions and their
applications, such as distillation, absorption, and stripping.
Presenting the subject from a strictly pragmatic point of view,
providing both the principles of mass transfer operations and their
applications, with clear instructions on how to carry out the basic
calculations needed, the book also covers topics useful for readers
taking their professional exams.
LOUIS THEODORE, ENG SCD, is a professor in the Chemical Engineering
Department at Manhattan College in Bronx, New York, and the recipient
