A must have for practicing design engineers
Although I would not put Volume 3 in my first set of professional books, it would be in the second tier. This volume offers detailed design information necessary for selecting technology for compressors and heating and cooling. It is well beyond what is available from classroom textbooks so be prepared for the initial shock. This is not a quick-reference book! You will have to spend some time to extract the information from Ludwig's series, i.e., volumes 1-3. I find Coulson and Richardson an easier text to use everyday. If you want details on refrigeration cycles, this is the place to look after you've had a go at Coulson or Hicks (Standard Handbook of Engineering Calculations).

Although some of the information may be available on-line. You would need to spend days and weeks collecting it. Then, there are the worked out examples of calculations, just like Hicks (missing from Coulson), that are invaluable. The photos of equipment, the tables and charts are invaluable. You won't find complete step-by-step calculations, like Hicks, but you will find more challenging ones worked out in sufficient detail to write a spreadsheet for future use.

A must on your professional library
This book and the companion volumes are some the best tools, which are present for Prozessengieers in the Design business. Ludwig is able ge$$$WESEN to take a balance prisoner between the theory and the material world. An excellent application book in high of degrees illustrates and with excellent method summaries and examples.


Lorenzo Montani PhD
I have approximately two hundreds of the book on Design of the chemical process. For me are this one of the best book, which is formed at all on topic, with many examples. The goal is mainly fundamental and petrochemical industries in addition, if you are interested in the fine chemicals, which find you, for which you look.
