KNOVEL is a full text, online collection of over 5,000 handbooks, data collections, and encyclopedias for science and engineering. This collection includes a section on chemistry and chemical engineering. The database can be searched by word or property or browsed by section. Examples of some of the handbooks:
-
Bretherick's Handbook of Reactive Chemical Hazards by ISBN: 0123725631Publication Date: 2006Bretherick's Handbook of Reactive Chemical Hazards is widely regarded as the reference work in this field - an assembly of all reported risks such as explosion, fire, toxic or high-energy events that result from chemical reactions gone astray, with extensive referencing to the primary literature. -
Chemical Engineering Design by ISBN: 0080966594Publication Date: 2012"Chemical Engineering Design is a complete course text for students of chemical engineering. Written for the Senior Design Course, and also suitable for introduction to chemical engineering courses, it covers the basics of unit operations and the latest aspects of process design, equipment selection, plant and operating economics, safety and loss prevention. " -
The Engineering of Chemical Reactions by ISBN: 0195169255Publication Date: 2004"The first seven chapters cover such fundamentals as multiple reactions, energy management, and catalytic processes. The final five chapters explore more advanced topics including environmental, polymer, solids processing, biological, and combustion reactions." -
Handbook of Environmental Degradation of Materials by ISBN: 0815515006Publication Date: 2005"The Handbook of Environmental Degradation of Materials outlines the cost of material degradation, but more importantly, explains how to measure, analyze, and prevent environmental degradation for a wide range of indsutrial materials. ... Case studies show how organizations from small consulting firms to corporate giants design and manufacture products that are more resistant to environmental effects." -
Branan's Rules of Thumb for Chemical Engineers by ISBN: 012387789XPublication Date: 2012"The most complete guide of its kind, this is the favored handbook for chemical and process engineers who need a reliable and authoritative solution to their practical on the job problems. ... Rules of Thumb for Chemical Engineers solves process design problems quickly, accurately and safely, with hundreds of common sense techniques, shortcuts and calculations." -
Yaws' Critical Property Data for Chemical Engineers and Chemists by ISBN: 1613449321Publication Date: 2012This database contains almost 450,000 data records covering physical, thermophysical, thermodynamic, transport, safety, and environmental properties for over 5000 inorganic substances and over 35,000 organic substances. Coverage also includes solutions, refrigerants, mixtures, building and insulation materials, superheated, saturated, and subcooled fluids, and pure metals and alloys, in addition to Wilson Parameters and activity coefficients for selected binary systems and adsorption capacity for purification of air and water."
