'''Distillation Design''' is a book which provides complete coverage of the design of industrial [[distillation]] columns for the [[Petroleum refining processes|petroleum refining]], [[chemical]] and [[petrochemical]] , [[natural gas processing]], [[pharmaceutical]] and [[alcohol]] distilling  industries. It has been a classical [[chemical engineering]] textbook since it was first published in February of 1992.
== Subjects covered in the book ==
*''[[Vapor-liquid equilibrium]](VLE)'': [[Vapor-liquid K values]], [[Relative volatility|relative volatilities]], ideal and non-ideal systems, phase diagrams, calculating bubble points and dewpoints
*''Key [[fractional distillation]] concepts'': [[Theoretical plate|theoretical stage]]s, x-y diagrams, multicomponent distillation, column composition and temperature profiles
*''[[Process design (chemical engineering)|Process design]] and [[Process optimization]]'': minimum [[reflux]] and minimum stages, optimum reflux, short-cut methods, feed entry location
*''Rigorous calculation methods'': Bubble point method, sum rates method, numerical methods ([[Newton-Raphson]] technique), inside out method, relaxation method, other methods
*''[[Batch distillation]]'': Simple distillation, constant reflux, varying reflux, time and boilup requirments
*''Tray design and tray efficiency'': distillation tray types, tray capacities, tray hydraulic parameters, tray sizing and determination of column diameter, point and tray efficiencies, tray efficiency prediction and scaleup
*''Packing design and packing efficiency'': packing types, packing hydraulics and capacities, determination of packing efficiency by transfer unit method and by [[HETP]] method, [[packed column]] sizing
