Distillation Principles And Processes (1922)

Distillation Principles and Processes is a comprehensive guide to the science and practice of distillation, written by the renowned British chemical engineer, Sydney Young. First published in 1922, this book is a classic reference for anyone interested in the theory and application of distillation.The book begins with an overview of the principles of distillation, including the thermodynamics of vapor-liquid equilibrium, the effects of pressure and temperature on distillation, and the factors that influence the efficiency of a distillation column. It then goes on to describe the different types of distillation processes, including batch distillation, continuous distillation, and fractional distillation.Throughout the book, Young provides detailed explanations of the various components of a distillation column, such as the reboiler, condenser, and trays or packing. He also covers topics such as reflux ratio, column diameter, and the design of distillation columns for specific applications.In addition to its technical content, Distillation Principles and Processes also includes practical advice on the operation and maintenance of distillation equipment, as well as case studies that illustrate the real-world application of distillation principles. With its clear and concise writing style, this book is an invaluable resource for chemical engineers, process engineers, and anyone involved in the design, operation, or optimization of distillation processes.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1922 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
