Air Separation 101 text or URL needed

(OP)
I'd like to learn the basics of air separation to be able to converse better with a friend of mine.  I do not understand most of the Chem-E specific jargon I read in this group, but I've got a MSME in high temperature gases and fluid mechanics and undergrad in Aerospace Eng.  So I'll need something that can teach the lingo too, but is not directed to the layman.  I'd like to spend <<$100 on a book.  Maybe 50-200 pages of a larger text, maybe oriented toward the sophomore or junior in ChemE.

RE: Air Separation 101 text or URL needed

May be you could start by looking thru the internet for a reasonable tutorial by asking for cryogenic and non-cryogenic air separation techniques or principles ?

Hi folks,

I was going through the threads and saw no one had really supplied an answer, but generally tend to agree with 25362.  A google.com search might help.  I found the below link useful.

Thanks, gasgiant.  That's the type of thing I was looking for, but if there's anything else out there I'll read those too.  I was too lazy to parse the large number of google hits I was getting, but my searches may not have been specific enough.  I picked up a cheap generic ChemE handbook also to help learn the lingo.

You could try

although I couldn't see anything on air separation it does have a lot of general chem eng stuff which could help with your 'jargon'
