DUBBEL's Handbook of Mechanical Engineering

Dubbel: Taschenbuch für den Maschinenbau (German Edition)
DUBBEL's Handbook of Mechanical Engineering has provided generations of German speaking engineers with a comprehensive source of guidance and reference on which they can rely throughout their professional lives. The key sections of this standard work are now available for the first time in English. Each subject is discussed in detail and supported by numerous figures and tables. DIN standards are retained throughout but ISO equivalents are given where possible. The text offers a concise but detailed and authoritative treatment of the topics with full references. Contents: Mechanics, Strength of Materials, Thermodynamics, Engineering Design, Hydraulic and Pneumatic Power Transmission, Components of Thermal Apparatus, Machine Dynamics and Components, Manufacturing Process and Systems.

Chemical Engineering Handbook (Reference)

Albright's Chemical Engineering Handbook
From the moment he gets his hands on Albright's Chemical Engineering Handbook has the potential to generate value for the chemical engineering professional. It is deep-going to the critical equations and models. I have used it for drying, centrifugation and fluid flow. It also has a handy reference for more fundamental information relevant to process design projects. The physical properties are more limited. But it's worth the cost. Professor Albright has engaged some really insightful experts in each of the chemical engineering areas investigated in his handbook.


Most section in this handbook, especially those dealing with the fundamental aspects of fluid flow, heat and mass transfer, are written in a very understandable form that students and practitioners can easily digest. Overall one can recommend Albrights chemical engineering handbook to libraries and the engineering departments at universities, but also consultants to the chemical industry as well as to chemical engineers to purchase this book.
