        PRINCIPLES OF MASS TRANSFER AND SEPARATION PROCESSES

        by DUTTA, BINAY K.

        This textbook is targetted to undergraduate students in chemical engineering, chemical technology, and biochemical engineering for courses in mass transfer, separation processes, transport processes, and unit operations.   The principles of mass transfer, both diffusional and convective have been comprehensively discussed. The application of these principles to separation processes is explained. The more common separation processes used in the chemical industries are individually described in separate chapters.   The book also provides a good understanding of the construction, the operating principles, and the selection criteria of separation equipment. Recent developments in equipment have been included as far as possible.   The procedure of equipment design and sizing has been illustrated by simple examples. An overview of different applications and aspects of membrane separation has also been provided. ‘Humidification and water cooling’, necessary in every process indus-try, is also described. Finally, elementary principles of ‘unsteady state diffusion’ and mass transfer accompanied by a chemical reaction are covered.   SALIENT FEATURES :  A balanced coverage of theoretical principles and applications.   Important recent developments in mass transfer equipment and practice are included.   A large number of solved problems of varying levels of complexities showing the applications of the theory are included.   Many end-chapter exercises.   Chapter-wise multiple choice questions.    An Instructors manual for the teachers.   Google Preview: https://bit.ly/3jlhpTf

        BITUMINOUS ROAD CONSTRUCTION IN INDIA

        by KANDHAL, PRITHVI SINGH

        This is the first ever text-cum-reference book in India on “Bituminous Road Construction”. It includes references to the codes and specifications of the Indian Roads Congress and the Bureau of Indian Standards, besides the international standards such as ASTM and AASHTO. This book provides a thorough knowledge of bituminous road construction such as bitumen; aggregate; mix design; special mixes, for example, stone matrix asphalt, warm mix asphalt, and ready-made pothole mix; structural design of flexible pavements; asphalt production and construction; distresses in asphalt pavements; maintenance and rehabilitation of asphalt pavements including recycling; and interesting investigations of premature failure of asphalt pavements across the world. It includes numerous simple, practical and illustrative examples, and a large number of photographs for easy comprehension of the subject matter.   This book has been designed to serve as a text for the undergraduate and postgraduate students of Civil Engineering for the courses on: Highway Materials including Testing Laboratory; Asphalt Mix Design; Highway Construction and Maintenance; Highway Pavement Failures; and Design of Flexible Pavements.   In this Revised Edition, it introduces Superpave Asphalt Binder Tests and Specifications (see Appendix A). Since over 95% of highways have bituminous surface, this book is also an ideal reference book for thousands of practicing highway engineers who are engaged in the most ambitious highway construction programme ever in India. Cutting-edge technology on bituminous road construction included in the book helps M.Tech and Ph.D. students in conducting research in this field and prepares them to implement their knowledge in real-life practice.   Google Preview: https://bit.ly/3C4edmo
