ICHEME members can now read the latest edition of Perry’s Chemical Engineer’s Handbook online for free, along with a host of other technical resources, after IChemE signed an agreement with publisher McGraw Hill.
Known colloquially in the discipline as the bible of chemical engineering, Perry’s is a reference book for students, academics, and practising engineers who want to find fundamental information about a process, a type of processing equipment, or data required for a calculation.
Members can gain access to Perry’s and hundreds of other resources by visiting IChemE’s website; logging into MyIChemE; selecting “Resources”; and then “AccessEngineering”, which takes users directly to McGraw Hill’s online engineering reference library.
AccessEngineering includes more than 700 books on engineering technology, business skills, and engineering management, dozens of interactive graphs and spreadsheets for performing calculations, and videos demonstrating solutions to chemical engineering problems.
Among the 98 available chemical engineering books are: Schaum's Handbook of Chemical Engineering Calculations, A Working Guide to Process Equipment, and Biofuels Engineering Process Technology.
Claudia Flavell-While, IChemE’s director of learned society, said: “We are committed to continually enhancing the services we provide to our members, ensuring they have access to world-class resources that support their professional growth and empower them to contribute to a sustainable future. Through the inclusion of Perry’s and the related tools, AccessEngineering is a valuable addition to our offerings, equipping our members with cutting-edge tools and knowledge to advance their careers and drive innovation in engineering sustainability.”
IChemE members have access to a wide range of other online knowledge resources including Elsevier’s online library Knovel, which has more than 300 books including Coulson and Richardson's Chemical Engineering, and IChemE’s Knowledge Hub where members can search conference proceedings and articles from Loss Prevention Bulletin, TCE and IChemE’s journals.
