Cover of Flow Measurement for Engineers and Scientists
This book discusses instrumentation and experimental methods for obtaining detailed information on the structure of various types of flows as well as standard process flow instrumentation suitable for industrial control applications. It assists research-oriented and process engineering personnel.

Cover of Handbook of Gasification

Gasification is a flexible, reliable and clean energy technology that converts materials containing carbon-i.e. coal, petroleum coke, biomass or waste-into synthesis gas (syngas). The syngas can then be used to produce electricity or be further processed to manufacture chemicals, fertilizers, liquid fuels, substitute natural gas, or hydrogen. Building upon the success of the authors' earlier work, the Handbook of Gasification is a comprehensive treatment covering principles, technologies, the worldwide market, gasification of woody biomass and mixed solid wastes, microbial gasification, Fischer-Tropsch and the biofuels refinery. Emphasis will be placed on biofuels and renewable resources.

Cover of Gasification Technologies
In contrast to traditional combustion, gasification technologies offer the potential for converting coal and low or negative-value feedstocks, such as petroleum coke and various waste materials into usable energy sources or chemicals. With a growing number of companies operating and marketing systems based on gasification concepts worldwide, this b

Cover of Industrial Solvents Handbook, Revised And Expanded
Keeping pace with current trends in solvent production, this volume builds upon its previous edition with broader coverage of safe handling practices, health effects, physical properties, and chemical synthesis routes to some of the most important organic solvents used in the chemical and allied process industries. This handy reference features a glossary of solvent terminology and an easy-to-reference index of synonyms for chemicals and solvents. The Second Edition features new and updated chapters on the major classes of organic solvents, descriptions for general use, and the chemical formulation, thermodynamic properties, health and toxicity, and combustible characteristics of solvents.
