Determine Liquid Specific Heat for Organic Compounds
John Garvin
This correlation is more accurate and applicable to more substances than other estimation techniques.
Use Exponential Functions to Correlate Temperature Dependence
Faruk Civan
Use Exponential Functions to Correlate Temperature Dependence Asymptotic exponential equations may provide a more-accurate or easier-to-use representation of a property’s temperature dependence than commonly used polynomial expressions.
Evaluate Temperature Gradients in Fired Heaters
Alan Cross
Use this method to predict the temperature of the flue gas leaving the radiant section of a direct-fired process heater.
Solving Phase Equilibrium Problems
James R. Reinhardt, Terrence L. Chambers
Use this optimization-based approach to analyze multi-component, multi-phase Equilibria.

Distillation in Practice
This course covers all essential distillation concepts likely to be faced by process support, operations, and design engineering personnel.
Apply Solubility Theory for Process Improvements
Michael J. Gentilcore
For solid compounds that dissolve in solvents but do not ionize, the thermodynamics of solubility can provide valuable predictions and insights.
Selecting a Heat Exchanger Shell
Thomas G. Lestina, P.E.
The first step in specifying a shell-and-tube heat exchanger is choosing the right shell to meet process requirements.
