Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Exploring the driving forces in the chemical and power industries, the book investigates why losses occur and explains how to reduce them. It focuses on economics as a key enabler of technology choices and shareholder returns.
MoreLong description:
Using classic thermodynamic principles as the point of departure, this new edition of a popular resource supplies the understanding and tools required to measure process ef ciency and sustainability with much improved accuracy. Exploring the driving forces in the chemical and power industries, Efficiency and Sustainability in the Energy and Chemical Industries: Scientific Principles and Case Studies, Third Edition investigates why losses occur and explains how to reduce them. It focuses on the changing roles of refining and chemicals in industry and how the industry is transforming itself, and considers economics as a key enabler to look at technology choices and whether shareholder returns will be there.
- Includes new chapters on plastics recycling technologies and challenges, low carbon energy sources, the changing energy mix, and project economics, taxes, and subsidies
- Illustrates techniques with wide-ranging case studies related to energy conversion, mining, and the chemical industries as well as examples and problems
- Considers engineering layouts that reduce the environmental impact of chemical operations
- Explains how to use energy analysis to accurately assess the quality and performance of chemical processes
- Supplies quantitative tools for analyzing sustainability and efficiency
- Investigates the challenges of the hydrogen economy and CO2 and low carbon
- Discusses plastics recycling, economics, and a changing energy mix
Complete with the keys to quantification of process efficiency and sustainability, this cutting-edge book is the ideal guide for those engaged in the transition from fossil-based fuels to renewable and sustainable energy sources using low-waste procedures.
