“An essential support text for the traditional design product…Well written using a clear type, is easy to read and is superbly indexed.” —Trans IChemE
“An excellent book for professionals and university students .. you can find everything you need about mass and heat transfer.” —
Mehmet Aras, Bayer
“Bottom line: For a holistic view of chemical engineering design, this book provides as much, if not more, than any other book available on the topic. Nearly every subject is accompanied by examples and new technologies are also addressed. In short, a complete, well-written and illustrated resource that is a pleasure to use.”

From the Back Cover
Chemical Engineering Design is one of the best-known and widely adopted texts available for students of chemical engineering. It deals with the application of chemical engineering principles to the design of chemical processes and equipment. Revised throughout, the fourth edition has been updated to cover the latest methods and techniques in the industry including process design, costing, safety and loss prevention techniques, equipment design methods, pressure vessel design, and numerous practical examples and student exercises. • Best-selling chemical engineering text in the classic Coulson & Richardson series, the definitive work for academics and practitioners• Fully revised to keep pace with the latest chemical industry changes• Supported by extensive problemsComprehensive in coverage, exhaustive in detail, the book is widely used by professionals as a day-to-day reference and provides students with all the fundamentals of chemical engineering design.
About the Author
Ray Sinnott’s varied career, mainly in design and development, began with several major companies including Dupont and John Brown. The main areas covered within these appointments were: Gas Production and Distribution, Nuclear Energy, Elastomers and Textile fibres.
After his career in industry he joined the Chemical Engineering Department, University of Wales Swansea in 1970, specialising in teaching process and plant design, and other engineering practice subjects.
The first edition of Chemical Engineering Design (Coulson and Richardson’s Vol 6) was published in 1983. Subsequent editions have been published at approximately 5 year intervals.
Ray Sinnott retired from full time teaching in 1995 but has maintained close contact with the engineering profession.
