Reader Reviews
This review is from: Perry's Chemical Engineers' Handbook (Hardcover) A great assortment of theory and practical data, this book is a must for all chemical engineers. This book provides at ones desk all the information one needs. The use of the book in the beginning is difficult but once learned, it serves as a powerful tool. I have not seen any other reference book as complete and practical oriented with an answer to the needs of the Chemical Engineer as this one. Comment | | (Report this)
