Handbook of Natural Gas Engineering

1st Edition
January 1, 2029
William A. Poe
English

The process of getting natural gas out of the ground, and to its final destination to be used, is a complicated one. There is a great deal of behind-the-scenes activity that goes into delivering natural gas to your home, even though it takes only the flick of a switch to turn it on. This handbook brings together the science and engineering processes that allow the natural gas industry to get their product out of the ground, and transform it into the natural gas that is used in homes and industries throughout the world. This Standard Handbook covers the Well head to the burner tip: The Exploration sections outline how natural gas is found, and how companies decide where to drill wells for it. The Extraction sections focus on the drilling process, and how natural gas is brought from its underground reservoirs to the surface. The Production sections discuss what happens once the well is drilled, including the processing of natural gas once it is brought out from underground. The Transport sections outline how the natural gas is transported from the wellhead and processing plant, using the extensive network of pipelines throughout North America. The Storage sections describe the storage of natural gas, how it is accomplished, and why it is necessary. The Distribution sections focus on the delivery of natural gas from the major pipelines to the end users, whoever they may be. The Marketing sections discuss the role that natural gas marketers play in getting the gas from the wellhead to the end

Chemical Thermodynamics for Chemical Engineers

1st Edition
January 1, 2029
Paul Stevenson
English

Engineering Thermodynamics for Chemical Engineers and its companion volume Chemical Thermodynamics for Chemical Engineers have been written to help teach engineering thermodynamics and chemical thermodynamics in a manner that is attractive to modern undergraduate chemical engineering students. This volume presents a systematic and manageable treatment of Chemical Thermodynamics. Differing from current available texts, this book helps students to master the content in a number of newer ways, such as removing material that is superfluous to modern studies in Engineering Thermodynamics, presenting the material in a form that continually reinforces the key concepts to aid comprehension, supplementing the material with a great many simple but incisive fully worked examples in a process engineering context, providing a great many examination questions of a nominal length of 30 minutes, and by pointing out and rectifying, through the use of special inserts, common student mistakes and misconceptions gathered by the author over several years of teaching. Intended for the second sequence of a two sequence course in chemical engineering thermodynamics.
