This latest addition to the Clarendon Aristotle Series provides a clear translation of Books I and VIII of the Topics, together with philosophical commentary and additional extracts from Books II and III. This selection gives a good general view of the main ideas of the work, a classic treatise on logic and argument.

Clarendon Press

The Topics is Aristotle's treatise on dialectical argument, a practice perhaps as old as human language, systemized for the first time by Aristotle. This seminal text offers many important insights into his conception of logic, his development of the notion of the predicables (the Five Terms), and his ideas on the method of philosophical inquiry itself. This volume contains a clear and accurate translation of Books I and VIII of Aristotle's Topics together with a philosophical commentary on these books and additional selections from Books II and III, and from the Sophistical Refutations. These books and selections best give a general view of the main ideas, arguments, and techniques expounded in the Topics. The volume is well suited to the requirements of students, including those who do not know Greek.

This book deals with the design and integration of chemical processes, emphasizing the conceptual issues that are fundamental to the creation of the process. Chemical process design requires the selection of a series of processing steps and their integration to form a complete manufacturing system. The text emphasizes both the design and selection of the steps as individual operations and their integration. Also, the process will normally operate as part of an integrated manufacturing site consisting of a number of processes serviced by a common utility system. The design of utility systems has been dealt with in the text so that the interactions between processes and the utility system and interactions between different processes through the utility system can be exploited to maximize the performance of the site as a whole. 
Chemical processing should form part of a sustainable industrial activity. For chemical processing, this means that processes should use raw materials as efficiently as is economic and practicable, both to prevent the production of waste that can be environmentally harmful and to preserve the reserves of raw materials as much as possible. Processes should use as little energy as economic and practicable, both to prevent the build-up of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere from burning fossil fuels and to preserve reserves of fossil fuels. Water must also be consumed in sustainable quantities that do not cause deterioration in the quality of the water source and the long-term quantity of the reserves. Aqueous and atmospheric emissions must not be environmentally harmful, and solid waste to landfill must be avoided. Finally, all aspects of chemical processing must feature good health and safety practice. It is important for the designer to understand the limitations of the methods used in chemical process design. The best way to understand the limitations is to understand the derivations of the equations used and the assumptions on which the equations are based. Where practical, the derivation of the design equations has been included in the text. The book is intended to provide a practical guide to chemical process design and integration for undergraduate and postgraduate students of chemical engineering, practicing process designers and chemical engineers and applied chemists working in process development. Examples have been included throughout the text. Most of these examples do not require specialist software and can be performed on spreadsheet software. Finally, a number of exercises have been added at the end of each chapter to allow the reader to practice the calculation procedures.

Thorough treatment of process plant layout providing a systematic approach to the synthesis of control systems for overall processes Process Plant Design is a practical guide to chemical engineering process plant design, particularly in relation to design projects, giving an up-to-date approach to the structure of process design projects as practiced industrially and exploring the wider issues of process design in terms of the services (utilities) required to make a practical process design function. The text allows chemical engineering students to gain an understanding of reliability, maintainability, and availability in relation to the subject, enabling them to specify with confidence the use of standby equipment, redundancy, reliability required of safety equipment, required availability to meet production targets, and the use of storage to achieve the required process availability. To aid in reader comprehension, Process Plant Design features worked examples within the text and exercises at the end of some chapters with solutions available via supporting website. Written by a renowned author with a proven track record in textbooks for chemical engineering students, Process Plant Design contains information on: <ul> <li>Chemical process projects, development of process design concepts, heating and cooling utilities, and waste treatment systems</li> <li>Piping and instrumentation diagram (P&ID) development, I.E. The most important document in the industrial practice of chemical engineering that must be developed for all design projects</li> <li>Flow rate and inventory control, degrees of freedom, control of process operations, and overall process control</li> <li>Piping and pressure relief, process operations, construction, mechanical design, site layout, and process layout</li> </ul> Process Plant Design is a highly valuable resource on the subject for final year undergraduate students, as well as practicing chemical engineers working in engineering, procurement, and construction. The text is also useful for industrial disciplines related to chemical engineering working in engineering, procurement, and construction of chemical processes.
