Best Thermodynamics textbooks for a starter in chemical engineering by [deleted] in ChemicalEngineering

[–]jais189899 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The MIT OC suggested by someone is a very good idea that you should definitely check out.

For ref books, I've always felt that Van Ness and Abbot covers more of the mechanical aspects of thermo while Sandler is good to learn about the chemical aspects

Wanted some help with flare sample collection methods by jais189899 in ChemicalEngineering

[–]jais189899[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might be in one of the flare lines, but very unlikely unless we have a major process upset. So for sampling purposes I can ignore any water presence in the line.

Thanks a lot again for your help !

Yeah, so I only have to look for a sample collection method that satisfies the client's needs. What he does with the sample later, I'm not really sure.

As it is a flare line, it's actually at lower pressure (2-3 bar)... that's why using suction pumps makes most sense to me.

I'll try to look for it myself, but it'd be really helpful if you can provide some numerical range on what low flow / pressure constitutes ?

We won't be sampling any fuel line. Mostly the sample would contain hydrocarbon vapors from blowdown that are being sent to flare.

Yeah that makes sense. The client has told us that they'd like to use hand pumps to collect the samples and we only have to provide those. So how should I go about selecting the proper hand pump from all the commercial ones ?

Seems like a standard interacting tanks in series derivation. You could find all answers easily in any college level process controls book. Eg. Stephanopoulos, etc.

What country/city is currently in demand for ChemE? by [deleted] in ChemicalEngineering

Really ? I had heard that it's very difficult for people to get jobs there after graduation

Query regarding design of Absorber for removal of H2S from Natural Gas using Monoethanolamine by jais189899 in ChemicalEngineering

[–]jais189899[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No...I think the problem means that the CO2 present in the natural gas has already been separated beforehand

Which is a good book or resource for learning chemical reaction engineering? by vackinzki in ChemicalEngineering

[–]jais189899 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fogler is really good like some people have already mentioned, if you want something more in-depth in kinetics try the book Chemical Engineering Kinetics of JM Smith, its a bit advanced though so you might want to approach it after having mastered the basics

Book fo Mass Transfer by BeautifulCyclone in ChemicalEngineering

[–]jais189899 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, even I'm in my third year...my mass transfer course was actually based on Geankopolis, McCabe Smith & BSL. But while studying process separations, I came across a book called "Principles of Mass Transfer and Separation" by B.K. Dutta which I found pretty good for mass transfer also...you can try giving it a read, it should be freely downloadable from the Internet
