درباره کتاب Petroleum Refinery Engineering
بخشی از پیشگفتار کتاب Petroleum Refinery Engineering از انتشارات آییژ:
When first published (1936) a main purpose of this book was the introduction of the principles of chemical engineering to the petroleum refining industry. The situation is now reversed. The chemical industry now looks to petroleum refiners for leadership in the development of many phases of chemical engineering especially those related to the large- scale processing of fluids and to the application of catalysts. Refinery engineering organizations made vital contributions in original commercial preparation of uranium or atomic fuels.
Although conceived originally as a textbook, it rapidly became apparent that industry also wanted or needed the book. Accordingly succeeding editions have been aimed more and more toward providing a survey of the industry’s engineering practices. International interest is being recognized in the Fourth Edition by the introduction of more information on foreign crude oils and more complete information on evaluation of oils. Crude oil is being shipped in increasing quantities from Venezuela, the Middle East, and Canada, and the refiner must be familiar with foreign oils as well as his local varieties not only because the properties and specifications of the products are affected but because the economy of the entire industry is influenced. New Appendix B of the Fourth Edition introduces the analyses of over 70 foreign crude oils as well as about 90 representative United States oils for comparison.
When the First Edition was written, much of the information on design computations had not theretofore been published, and such methods were new to much of the industry. This situation has also been reversed. Computation methods now flow from the industry at a rate that can not be accommodated in new editions.
At least twelve major books ог series of books relating to petroleum refining were published prior to 1939, but only a few of these have been revised and scarcely any new publications have appeared. Undoubtedly the rapidly growing complexity of the industry and the enormity of the current literature have been a discouragement to authors.
