Submit a ProposalUnit Operations in Environmental Engineering
 | By Louis Theodore, Ryan R. Dupont and Kumar Ganesan Copyright: 2017 | Status: Published ISBN: 9781119283638 | Hardcover | 691 pages Price: $245.00 USD  |
One Line Description
The book presents the principles of unit operations as well
as the application of these principles to real-world problems.
Audience
The book will serve as a reference for practicing environmental and process engineers in various industry, consulting, regulatory, and municipal government positions. The book can also be used in environmental engineering graduate and undergraduate programs.

Description
The authors have written a practical introductory text exploring the theory and applications of unit operations for environmental engineers that is a comprehensive update to Linvil Rich’s 1961 classic work, “Unit Operations in Sanitary Engineering”. The book is designed to serve as a training tool for those individuals pursuing degrees that include courses on unit operations. Although the literature is inundated with publications in this area emphasizing
theory and theoretical derivations, the goal of this book is to present the subject from a strictly pragmatic introductory point-of-view, particularly for those individuals involved with environmental engineering.
This book is concerned with unit operations, fluid flow, heat transfer, and mass transfer.
Unit operations, by definition, are physical processes although there are some that include chemical and biological reactions. The unit operations approach allows both the practicing engineer and student to compartmentalize the various operations that constitute a process, and emphasizes introductory engineering principles so that the reader can then satisfactorily
predict the performance of the various unit operations equipment.

Reviews
“This is a definitive work on Unit Operations, one of the most important subjects in environmental engineering today. It is an excellent reference, well written, easily read and
comprehensive. I believe the book will serve well those working in engineering disciplines including those beyond just environmental and chemical engineering. Bottom-line: A
must for any technical libraryâ€. Kenneth J. Skipka, CCM
