What a thread!
Just to help out, search out Richardson and Coulson's Chemical Engineering.

Maybe you are referring to perry's Chemical Engineers handbook

Hi there:

As a first step, go to any major search engine (Google, Yahoo, MSN etc.) and type in chemical enginnering textbooks ...

Thanks,

Funny topic
Anyways I'll use this topic to promote my favorite:
Chemical Process Design, by Robin Smith, 2005

great chapters on process integration and new developments in pinch analysis

[JBradley]

My favourite is Unit Operations of Chemical Engineering.

(And I wouldn't wipe my bum on Perrys's!!!) - Excuse the profanity.

Dear ghbabu,

If you are looking out for references and textbooks (a student, presumably), then some good ones are -

1. Unit Operations - McCabe & Smith
2. Process Calculations - Hougen Watson & Ragatz or Himmelblau
3. Thermodynamics - Van Ness & Smith
4. Process Heat Transfer - Kern
5. Mass Transfer - Treybal
6. Process technology - Shreeve or Dryden
7. Applied Process Design for Chemical & Petrochemical Plants - Ernest E. Ludwig
8. Process Control/Simulation - Coughanowr or Luyben
9. Design & Economics - Peter & Timmerhaus
10. Chemical Engineering Handbook - Perry
11. Kinetics - Smith

Hope I have covered most of the topics, most of the above mentioned are McGrawhill publications, details of which are available on the web. (Pls note I have only indicated the names of authors).

If you are seeking out magazines, I would suggest Chemical Engineering, Chemical Engineering World, Hydrocarbon Processing, Chemical Engineering News, Plant & Process Engineering etc.

Regards

Could it be that everyone in the world seems to be using the same handful of chem eng. textbooks - it looks that way!!!!!

Think you missed Coulson&Richardson Vol I, II and VI of there.

Also you could go to the IChemE website and browse through the Knovel e-books.
