The fifth edition of Plant Design and Economics for Chemical Engineers is a major revision of the popular fourth edition. There are new chapters on process synthesis, computer-aided design, and design of chemical reactors. A traditionally strong feature of the text, economic analysis, has been revamped and updated. Another strength, equipment sizing and cost estimation, is updated and expanded as well. These improvements also reflect changes in equipment availability.

The numerous real examples throughout the book include computer or hand solutions, and often both. There is a new increased emphasis on computer use in design, economic evaluation, and optimization. Concepts, strategies, and approaches to computer use are featured. These concepts are not tied to particular software programs and therefore apply to wide a range of applications software, of both current and future release.

This widely used text is now more useful than ever, providing a “one-stop” guide to chemical process design and evaluation.

I bought this book for my capstone senior design project. Contains some surprisingly useful information. I used it mainly for the economic analysis of my project. Having never done anything related to economics before, it was a very useful tool and helped me produce a high quality senior design project.

The 5th edition of this classic remains a 'must have' for any practising chemical engineer. Amongst its many strengths it sets the standard for cost estimating and has comprehensive data on practically all items that one might need.
