Fundamentals Of Cryogenic Engineering

MAMATA MUKHOPADHYAY, Ph.D., is Professor Adjunct, Chemical Engineering Department, Indian Institute of Technology Bombay. Earlier, she worked with the faculties of IIT Kanpur and IIT Delhi. She has more than 40 years of teaching experience at both the under-graduate and postgraduate levels in such areas as thermodynamics, cryogenic engineering, separation processes, and processing with supercritical fluids. She is credited with six patents and has published more than 170 research articles in reputed international journals and symposia proceedings. She is the author of Natural Extracts Using Supercritical Carbon Dioxide.

Intended as a text for the undergraduate and postgraduate students of Chemical/Mechanical/Materials Engineering streams, this well-balanced book explains the fundamental principles and the applied aspects of cryogenic engineering. The author, with her vast and varied experience in teaching and allied fields, clearly enunciates the behaviour and various properties of common cryogenic fluids, methods of liquefaction, and separation and applications of cryogens with thermodynamic analysis for process selection.

This profusely illustrated study with clear-cut diagrams and process charts, should serve not only as a textbook for students but also as an excellent reference for researchers and practising engineers on design of cryogenic refrigeration, and liquefaction and separation process plants for various applications.
