RATIONALE

The purpose of this encyclopedia is to provide students with a basic understanding of


what chemical engineering equipment looks like and how it works. It is intended for
use for use as a general reference for students in courses spanning the introductory
course through the capstone design course, as well as for classroom presentation, for
example prior to covering a given chemical engineering topic. The equipment is
organized into categories, as shown in this brochure, and an index is also provided for
ease of access.

ORGANIZATION

The description for each piece of equipment is divided into: General Information,
Equipment Design, Usage Examples, Advantages / Disadvantages, and References.
This leads the user from a brief description of how the equipment works to more in-
depth details of its operation, often including animations; examples of industries in
which the equipment is used; comparisons with other types of equipment; and
resources for more information. Note that information needed to design equipment is
not included.
