Perry, Douglass

A thorough presentation of fundamentals of an economic analysis for process design can be found in the classical book of Peters and Timmerhaus (1991). In addition this book contains detailed information about the cost of chemical equipment. A concise but useful treatment can be found in Coulson Richardson volume 6 (1993). The part on economics in Douglas (1987) is particularly well written from the viewpoint of a designer. The chapter written by Holland Wilkinson for Perry s Handbook 7 edition (1997) contains an extended description of the modem concepts of profitability, a comprehensive estimation of manufacturing and fixed-capital costs, as well as an introduction in the accounting and cost control concepts. The economic evaluation of projects from the perspective of the Institution of Chemical Engineers-UK may be found in Allen (1991).

Perhaps an effect of the rapid expansion and successes of the 60s, the department underwent a retrenchment when Miller resigned. Five faculty left in short succession, including several of Perry, who had taken over the editorship Engineer s Handbook from his father, practice. Both Douglas and Middleman University of Massachusetts. Realizing possible. Dean Robert Loewy, later to become Provost at RPI, acted as chairman in 1968-69 until John Perron was hired from Delaware. Perron had earned his PhD in 1958 at...
