RATIONALE
The purpose of this encyclopedia is to provide students
with a basic understanding of what chemical engineering equipment looks
like and how it works. It is intended for use for use as a general reference
for students in courses spanning the introductory course through the capstone
design course, as well as for classroom presentation, for example prior
to covering a given chemical engineering topic. The equipment is organized
into categories, as shown in this brochure, and an index is also provided
for ease of access.
ORGANIZATION
The description for each piece of equipment is divided
into: General Information, Equipment Design, Usage Examples, Advantages
/ Disadvantages, and References. This leads the user from a brief description
of how the equipment works to more in-depth details of its operation, often
including animations; examples of industries in which the equipment is
used; comparisons with other types of equipment; and resources for more
information. Note that information needed to design equipment is not included.
