Summary: Acceptable Introductory Text
Rating: 3
This book covers more than the title states, which forces it toward a fairly general text.
Basic engineering equations for instrumentation, valves, and flow devices are included, as are practice questions, but are often too simplified for actual applications.
However, since all calcuations now days are done on a computer (often via a vendor) this text would serve quite well in an introductory process enginering course.
The only serious problem I found was with regard to the computer software related sections where the equipment is dated.
Then again, anyone wishing to write about computers and software should realize that their information will be antiquated by the time the book hits the shelf!
