Features: The Chemical Machinery Engineering Handbook has been listed by the General Administration of Press and Publication as a "Key National Book for the 9th Five-Year Plan." Edited by Professor Yu Guocong, an Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and involving the work of 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 engineering, including solid mechanics, machine dynamics, fluid mechanics, and engineering thermodynamics as fundamental mechanics, as well as heat transfer, mass transfer process principles, and technical foundations such as structural materials, pressure vessels, and pipelines.
The Middle Volume focuses on chemical process machinery and equipment, including pumps, compressors, industrial steam turbines, heat exchange equipment, furnaces, distillation and absorption towers, 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 covers the practical operations of chemical machinery and related engineering content, including the manufacturing, installation, and management of chemical machinery, 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, summarizing practical industrial experience with chemical machinery materials.
The section on pressure vessels and pipelines primarily introduces the structure, stress analysis calculations, and design of cylindrical, spherical, and horizontal vessels, as well as the layout and calculations 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 the manufacturing, installation, and management of chemical machinery describes the technical characteristics and key points of manufacturing, maintenance, and installation, while also introducing modern equipment reliability analysis, condition diagnostics, and safety assessment techniques.
The section on control engineering and computer applications explains the principles of process control, as well as computer hardware, software, and language knowledge, and the application of control technology in the continuous and automated operation of chemical machinery. Additionally, it covers the use of computer-aided design (CAD) 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 practical experience in research, design, and operation. It is grounded in the discipline while facing engineering realities. The content and organization strive to align with the sister volume, Chemical Engineering Handbook, and incorporate recent advancements in chemical machinery technology, materials, and trends.
The target readers of the Handbook are chemical machinery professionals with university or college-level education, as well as teaching, research, design, production, and management personnel.
