Dear All,
In one of the topics in this forum i found a download link to a very useful article by mukherjee rajiv:
Mukherjee, “Effectively Design Shell-and-Tube Heat
Exchangers”, Chemical Engineering Progress, Febr. 1998
Who knows download links to other articles by mukhejee including:
1. Mukherjee, “Broaden Your Heat Exchanger Design
Skills”, Chemical Engineering Progress, March 1998
2.Mukherjee, “Effectively Design Air-Cooled Heat
Exchangers”, Chemical Engineering Progress, February 1997
3.Mukherjee, “Conquer heat exchanger fouling”,
Hydrocarbon Processing, January 1996
Thanks in advance.

In the past you could download articles from C.E.P. by doing a Google search, but it seems like they have closed this loophole... Now you can only read the articles on http://www.aiche.org.../CEP/index.aspx when you are a member of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE). Also with Hydrocarbon Processing it was possible to read the articles on the Internet for free but not anymore...

Of course you can always order the articles via a (University) library...

I'm sure the C.E.P. has a similar copyright statement. In this case, you can easily obtain a legal copy via library services (e.g. http://www.englib.cornell.edu/ or http://www.lindahall.org/) or directly from the publishers, at a reasonable cost. Sending digital copies as described in the previous posts is simply illegal.

gvdlans,

Thanks for your advice...

Infact i am struggling with the concept of Copyright and Sharing...

I have posted a new topic in Industrial Profession Forum. Appreciate you can drop your opinion.


Again, thanks for your advice.

Dear gvdlans,

Thanks for your advice. However, whether sharing of scanned copy of some documents for academic / study purpose does violet of any copyright obligation? Seek your opinion.

REGARDS.

[gvdlans]

See my answers in the thread started by JoeWong.

Sharing of copies for study purposes is allowed in the US as per the "fair use" principle, but this is not the case in other (e.g. European countries). See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_use

Part of being a good engineer is the inclusion of ethical behavior. Laws in most parts of the world define it as illegal (if not unethical) to "steal" intellectual property, hence patent and copyright laws. I am distressed to see how readily large numbers of this site's users are so willing to dispense with this consideration. If I'm not mistaken, it has been clearly indicated as being illegal to send copyrighted materials to others. So why are there continued requests for this? Please respect the laws and do not ask for others to disregard this important aspect of ethical behavior. If you don't agree with the laws, work to have them changed.

please send me the Mukherjee Rajiv Articles at allure117@hotmail.com, thanks in advance.

allure and many others,
You can provide the appropriate thanks not to a thief who would comply with your request, but to Mr. Mukherjee and his publisher by following the appropriate path to procuring items of this sort. Purchase the publication or the article from the publisher, rather than trying to illegally steal their work. I presume your employer would not be bankrupted in doing so as the fee for such services tends to be nominal. If neither you nor your employer is willing to purchase the article, then it perhaps it's not so important to have it.

To the site administrator: May I suggest deleting this and similar threads?
