Features: The "Chemical Machinery Engineering Handbook" was listed by the General Administration of Press and Publication as a "Nineth Five-Year Plan" National Key Book. Edited by Professor Yu Guocong, an Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and reviewed and compiled by over 100 chemical machinery experts, it is published in three volumes: Upper, Middle, and Lower. The Handbook is structured according to the discipline system of chemical machinery engineering and related engineering knowledge. The Upper Volume covers the theoretical foundations of chemical machinery, including solid mechanics, machine dynamics, fluid mechanics, engineering thermodynamics, and other fundamental mechanics, as well as heat and mass transfer principles, and technical foundations such as structural materials, pressure vessels, and pipelines. The Middle Volume includes absorbers, extraction equipment, drying equipment, crystallization equipment, membrane devices, mechanical separation equipment, crushing machinery, agglomeration granulation and classification equipment, solid material storage and conveying machinery, mixing and blending equipment, reactors, refrigeration, low-temperature equipment, and heat pumps, as well as industrial waste treatment equipment. The Lower Volume focuses on practical engineering aspects of chemical machinery, including installation and management, control engineering, and computer applications.
In the section on structural materials, it describes material degradation, damage, improvement, and protection methods from the perspective of chemical environmental conditions, as well as material selection, and summarizes the practical application experience of chemical machinery materials in industrial practice. The section on pressure vessels and pipelines primarily introduces the structure, stress analysis, and design of cylindrical, spherical, and horizontal vessels, as well as the layout and calculation of pipelines and their components, based on the latest national standards and industrial practices. The section on chemical process machinery and equipment emphasizes the structural types and components of chemical machinery and equipment, as well as design calculations. The section on chemical machinery manufacturing, installation, and management describes the technical characteristics and key points of chemical machinery manufacturing, maintenance, and installation, and introduces modern equipment reliability analysis, condition diagnosis, and safety assessment technologies. The section on control engineering and computer applications explains the principles of process control, computer hardware, software, and language knowledge, as well as the application of control technology in the continuous and automated operation of chemical machinery, and the use of computer-aided design and computer-aided analysis in the design, operation, and control of chemical machinery.
The Handbook compiles all professional knowledge in the field of chemical machinery, reflecting the practical experience of research, design, and operation in chemical machinery. It is grounded in the discipline and oriented toward engineering practice. The content and organization strive to align with the sister volume, "Chemical Engineering Handbook," and reflect the latest technologies, new materials, and trends in chemical machinery in recent years. The Handbook is designed for chemical machinery professionals with university or college-level education, and is also suitable for teaching, research, design, production, and management personnel.
The book introduces chemical process machinery and equipment, including pumps, compressors, industrial steam turbines, heat exchange equipment, heating furnaces, distillation and absorption towers, extraction equipment, drying equipment, etc.
