Fluid Dynamics and Scale-Up in Process Engineering covers the author's and a host of his colleagues' industrial design as well as research and development experience, gained over the years from 1942 through 2010. It is intended to serve process engineers as a source of tested correlations tracked to related theory in fluid dynamics, for the design and arrangement of reactors, process vessels and internals handling gases, liquids, and particulate solids passing through in single and multi-phase, co- and counter-current flow. It is replete with examples encountered in the design of numerous specifically cited industrial processes as well as some 20 accompanying illustrative calculations such as:

• Sizing height and diameter of fluid bed and riser reactors from fixed bed pilot plant results
• Pressure drop in horizontal gas liquid flow at pressures up to 2000 psi
• Cyclone catch and loss analyses
• Flow profiles in risers
• Tap spacing and aeration rate
• Powder viscosity and surface tension

The subject matter is presented in 21 chapters dealing with recurring questions in design, and the resolution of past un-publicized failures. Every chapter contains new data and design correlations never before published in book or other form. The breadth of contents can serve as a text for a graduate, or continuing education course in practical process engineering.
