Description:
The first edition of the Chemical Engineers' Handbook, edited by the late John H. Perry, was published in 1934. It was intended to present, in a convenient form, many of the equations and data that a practicing engineer needed for the design of chemical-plant equipment. Perry's Handbook, as it became known, was soon regarded as the chemical engineer's "bible".

The rapid growth of chemical engineering literature and changes in design techniques have been evidenced in the subsequent editions of 1941 and 1950 and particularly in the present edition. Although the concept of unit operations is still used for defining the sections of the handbook, emphasis has been shifted toward the more fundamental engineering sciences of thermodynamics, reaction kinetics, solid and fluid mechanics, and mass and energy transfer. There is considerably Iess in the way of empiricism and more in the use of statistical and mathematical analysis.

Among the new topics presented in the fourth edition are dynamics of falling films and fluidized beds, electromagnetic pumps, jet pulverizers, the use of computers in designing multicomponent distillation units, and unsteady state diffusion.
