I work in the manufacturing field and want to learn *chemical engineering equipment systematically; where should I start?
There is a manual on chemical processing equipment; it’s quite good
One should start by examining the production process of the products you manufacture, and then take into account the technical requirements of the equipment. The three key factors are reaction temperature, pressure, and pH level; it is also necessary to determine whether processes such as heating and cooling are included in the manufacturing process. Only after that can one proceed to selecting the materials for the equipment, considering factors such as corrosion resistance and safety features
If you want to learn * systematically, in theory you should start with the basics and keep it closely linked to practical work. Here are a few books I recommend: 1. {Basic Data}, compiled by Wen Liankui. 2. {Petroleum and chemical equipment maintenance and repair techniques} 3. Equipment in oil refineries 4. {Pump manuals} 5. {Compressor manuals} It’s advisable to learn some knowledge in electrical engineering and instrumentation as well.
I’m not sure if you came across them during your university studies, but there are two textbooks for mechanical engineering: \"Chemical Engineering Machinery\" and \"Chemical Engineering Equipment\", which cover the static and dynamic equipment used in the chemical industry; you might want to take a look at them.
I didn’t originally study chemical engineering; it must be very difficult to start learning it now! But I still want to learn
Wen*’s “Principles of Chemical Engineering”, followed by “Equipment for Unit Operations in Chemical Engineering” and “Chemical Engineering Machinery”
Study books such as Chemical Engineering Drawing, Fundamentals of Machinery, Chemical Engineering Equipment, Principles of Chemical Engineering, and Pressure Vessels
\"Fundamentals of Chemical Engineering Machinery and Equipment\" – I studied it in college.
Study* Chemical Engineering Principles, Mechanical Design, and Chemical Engineering Drawing
