From an Industrial Practitioner of Process Measurement & Control
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This book is an excellent reference on Chemical Processes Principles and Calculations for any engineer or practitioner working in the process industries. I am an Electronic Engineer, but I have been working for the last 16 years as an Instrumentation, Automation and Process Control Engineer for the Oil & Gas Industry. As a result I have been involved with Chemical Engineering issues in a day to day basic. I have found this book to be an ideal self-study guide. The book includes a A CD-ROM that provides an active learning environment. If a non Chemical Engineer can learn Chemical Engineering Principles from this book, I guarantee that any Chemical Engineering student or practitioner will find this readable textbook very useful. Another great reference is David Himmelblau's Book "Basic Principles and Calculations in Chemical Engineering"
Excelent
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
This book was used in my first year into course to Chemical Engineering and I found it to be very concise and well laid out. To this day, four years later, I still find myself using it to review basic concepts and it rarely leaves my desk. The most useful sections of the book are the inside front and back covers for the unit conversion and constants as well as the data tables located in the appendices. I recommend this book as a great start to the Chemical Engineering program.
Good read
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
I don't know why those who say the book is bad have chosen to become a chemical engineers in the first place. I read the book and I did substantially better in exams than my friends who follow the bad advise on this website and didn't read the book. If all you want to do is mindlessly pluck out a particular formula to fit the question in the assignments, you are not in a position to become a real engineer and this book is not good for you. If you can't adjust to the learning curve of this book over the course of one semister, you are likewise unfit for the profession that values dynamism and quick-learning.
Good book for ChemE's
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
I used this book in my 2nd year at U of Cincinnati for my Material and Energy Balance class. This is a very good book for ChemE's just starting out, and it helped me a lot(I'm currently 4th year). The example problems in the book are very good at explaining concepts, and the book is very well laid out in an easy to understand way. If you don't need this book for a class, it is still a very handy reference for many ChemE applications.
Best text introducing Chemical Engineering Calculations
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This is the best text appearing in the past decade, and that is dedicated to introduing Chemical Engineering calculations in a simple and straight forward way. I found the book extremely useful for all Chemical Engineering students at Alexandria University. Most of the students -in spite of being non-English speakers - had no problems in following the book, solving its problems, and continuously using the book throughout their course of study at the ChE Dept of Alex. U. They all agree: it is an indispensable reference to a Chemical Engineer
