This book highlights the aspects that need to be considered when designing distillation columns in practice. It discusses the influencing parameters as well as the equations governing them, and presents several numerical examples. The book is intended both for experienced designers and for those who are new to the subject.

Die Berechnung und Auslegung von Kolonnen zum Destillieren, Absorbieren und Strippen wird mit vielen Beispielen und Fliessbildern aus der Praxis sehr anschaulich dargestellt.
Es wird gezeigt, wie man die Zahl der benotigten theoretischen Trennstufen ermittelt und wie man diese Anforderungen in die Praxis umsetzt.
Auch die Berechnung von Gleichgewichten, Siede- und Taupunkten sowie Flashtrennungen fur ideale und nicht ideale Stoffgemische wird mit vielen Beispielen erlautert.
Dieses Handbuch fur die tagliche Praxis im Anlagenbau ist auch hervorragend geeignet als Anleitung fur Bachelor- und Masterstudenten."

Heat Exchanger Design Guide: A Practical Guide for Planning, Selecting and Designing of Shell and Tube Exchangers takes users on a step-by-step guide to the design of heat exchangers in daily practice, showing how to determine the effective driving temperature difference for heat transfer. Users will learn how to calculate heat transfer coefficients for convective heat transfer, condensing, and evaporating using simple equations. Dew and bubble points and lines are covered, with all calculations supported with examples. This practical guide is designed to help engineers solve typical problems they might encounter in their day-to-day work, and will also serve as a useful reference for students learning about the field. The book is extensively illustrated with figures in support of the text and includes calculation examples to ensure users are fully equipped to select, design, and operate heat exchangers.
