books advice
(OP)
Hello,
I'm novice process engineer.
Can anyone advise me good books for design?
A very simple, clear and educational with a lot of examples to begin slowly but surely...
For the moment, I'm reading the GPSA, wonderful...Do you know other books ?
Thanks a lot...

OK, OK, thanks...
I was looking on the net, it seems that it can be downloaded for free...But when I tried, it doesn't work...
Do you know if I can get a free copy somewhere?

RE: books advice
Maxwell's "Data Book on Hydrocarbons" has a lot of good info in it. Kind of like a mini API for way less money.
Lieberman's "Working Guide to Process Equipment" and "Troubleshooting Process Operations" are both pretty good.
Cameron Hydraulic Data is another handy reference.
RE: books advice
Lieberman's "Working Guide to Process Equipment" looks very interesting and simple for young engineers like me.
I think I will began by buying this one...
From the title, Maxwell's "Data Book on Hydrocarbons" looks more interesting for people working on petrolium sector, no?
I'm in a gas company, do you think I could need it?
What do you think about....(I forgot the title...), a book of R. Branan, I think, do you know it?
Thanks again,
Méli :)
RE: books advice
Branan's book is "Rules of Thumb for Chemical Engineers". It does have quite a few little nuggets in it that most engineers amass over the course of a career in one place.

Hello Jason5000,
Thank you for your answer...
Well, for the moment, I have ordered Branan's book altough one of my colleagues told me just before yesterday that it was not necessary...(?)
I don't agree with him because the little I saw in this book from googlebook looks very interesting...
I also like Lieberman's "Working Guide to Process Equipment" and definitly, I'm going to buy it as soon as possible
I hope these books will make me a better engineer
Thank again Jason and see you!

A good and often used basic reference for a ChemE is Perry's Chemical Engineering Handbook"
Used copies are available on the internet
