Perry’s Chemical Engineers’ Handbook ABOUT THE EDITORS Don W. Green is Deane E. Ackers Distinguished Professor of Chemical and Petroleum Engineering and codirector of the Tertiary Oil Recovery Project at the University of Kansas in Lawrence, Kansas, where he has taught since 1964. He received his doctorate in chemical engineering in 1963 from the University of Oklahoma, where he was Dr. Perry’s first doctoral student. Dr. Green has won several teaching awards at the University of Kansas, and he is a Fellow of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers and an Honorary Member of the Society of Petroleum Engineers. He is the author of numerous articles in technical journals. The late Robert H. Perry served as chairman of the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Oklahoma and program director for graduate research facilities at the National Science Research Foundation. He was a consultant to various United Nations and other international organizations. From 1973 until his death in 1978, Dr. Perry devoted his time to a study of the cross impact of technologies within the next half century. The subjects under his investigation on a global basis were energy, minerals and metals, transportation and communications, medicine, food production, and the environment.

Preface to theEighth EditionPerry’s has been an important source of information related to the fundamentals and practice of chemical engineeringsince it was first published in 1934, with John H. Perry both the initiator and editor. Several chemicalengineers, serving as editor- or coeditor-in-chief, have guided the preparation of the different editions over theyears. These include John H. Perry (first to third editions), Robert H. Perry (fourth to sixth editions), Cecil H.Chilton (fourth and fifth editions), Sidney D. Kirkpatrick (fourth edition), Don W. Green (sixth to eighth editions)and James O. Maloney (sixth and seventh editions). Robert H. Perry was also listed as an editor for the

Page 9: Chemical Engg Basics

seventh edition, and is listed again as an editor for the current edition, although his tragic death occurred duringthe preparation of the sixth edition. Many of the ideas developed through his leadership during preparationof earlier editions carried over to the seventh and eighth editions. I owe much to the friendship andmentoring of Bob Perry.The organization of this eighth edition is much the same as for the seventh edition, although content changesare extensive. The first group of sections includes comprehensive tables with units conversions and fundamentalconstants, physical and chemical data, methods to predict properties, and fundamentals of mathematicsmost useful to engineers. The second group, comprising the fourth through the ninth sections, coversfundamentals of chemical engineering. The third and largest group of sections deals with processes, such asheat-transfer operations, distillation, gas-liquid processes, chemical reactors, and liquid-liquid processes. Thelast group covers auxiliary information including waste management, safety and the handling of hazardousmaterials, energy sources, and materials of construction. All sections have been updated to cover the latestadvances in technology related to chemical engineering. As there are a significant number of new section editors,the material in the Handbook has been extensively revised. Section 2, which covers physical and chemicaldata, has been expanded by well over 100 pages to include, among other new information, data from theAIChE Design Institute for Physical Properties.A large number of section editors and contributors worked on this eighth edition, and these persons and theiraffiliations are listed as a part of the front material. Many of these authors are Fellows of the AIChE. I wouldlike to recognize two of these colleagues, Dr. Michael M. Abbott and Dr. James Y. Oldshue, who passed awaywhile this work was being prepared. They will be missed. A number of chemical engineering students at theUniversity of Kansas assisted in the preparation of the index. They are Jonathan Ashley, Andrew Becker,Jonathan Bunn, Don Claus, Andrew Duncan, Meghan Easter, Bill Eckman, Justin Ellrich, Mehrdad Hosni,Kaitlyn Kelly, Jennifer Lawrence, Casey Morris, Chris Roatch, Chris Sharpe, Jeremy Steeley, Daniel Theimer,and Nick Willis. In addition, Maxine Younes, Susan Bolton, and my wife Patricia Green provided extensive secretarialassistance.DON W.
