✦ Synopsis

This excellently written treatise on mass and heat transfi:r as related to absorption, distillation and cooling towers, does a highly competent job of clearly and concisely covering practical design approaches in these areas by discussion and example, without sacrificing the underlying fundamentals and theory.

The coverage on mass aDd heat transfer, adsorption and distillation theory and calculations is most satisfactory. Each section is well augmented by references, with the coverage of the European literature being apparently much more extensive than most recent publications within these areas. Chapter 12 on bubble-cap and perforated plates, and Chapter 14 on the design of absorption and distillation towers are good summaries, but this material is more adequately covered in the recent book, "Distillation-Principles and Design Procedures," hy R. J. Hengstebeck.

To update one item, on page 134 he states that Hengstebeck (1946) showed that the distribution at finite reflux ratios of the non-key componenls is approximated by the empirical equation:
