Product Description
GAIN A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF CHEMICAL PROCESSES
Material that's presented in a very clear and accessible way... frequent use of examples...case studies based on commercial processes...a CD-ROM with instructional tutorials, a powerful equation solver, and a visual encyclopedia of chemical process equipment... These are just a few of the features of this text that help provide a realistic, informative introduction to chemical processes.
Key Features of the Third Edition
* Nearly every section in the third edition has been revised to provide increased clarity.
* Hundreds of new and revised problems and new case studies cover a broader spectrum of chemical engineering applications.
* Some problems require spreadsheeting, and others call for using equation-solving software.
* The INTERACTIVE CHEMICAL PROCESS PRINCIPLES (ICPP) CD-ROM provides an active learning environment. With this software, students respond to questions and receive immediate feedback, explore variations in process parameters and se e the effects of their changes on process operations, and more.

 Concise and Relevent ChE text February 24, 2008
As a junior Chemical Engineering student, I used this book in my very first class as a chemical engineering course. It covers fundamentals of chemical processes and the physics/chemistry behind them. Turns out much of the material in this book is applicable (at least in part) to every other course in not only a chemical engineering cirriculum but engineering/science in general. The book is very well organized and text is very readable by a complete novice and as a reference later on. There are many examples and challenging problems at the end (which the 2005 edition has fixed the errors in solutions).
 not for novice chem engineers December 18, 2006

okay first off, this book is NOT for 1st or second year students. the examples make sense(some of the time) until you get to the problems in the back of the book and then you wonder why you picked chemical engineering as a major in the first place because these problems really makes you feel sort of dumb. im taking the materials and energy balance class and in my school it's used to weed people out. let me say this again, if you are taking a materials and energy balance class and you need a text, do not get this one. i hear a lot of great things from the text basic principles and calculations in chem eng by D.M Himmelblau and J.B Riggs so get that one instead unless your teacher demands you get this book. truly a horrible book to start out a chem eng major.
Abolsutely Horrible August 29, 2006

I'm taking the class that goes along with this book at my school and I have to say this is the worst book I have ever seen. Yes it presents material and all that but it does so with very little explanation. If you don't understand it right away this book won't help at all, it won't explain any more, do any detailed examples, or help you with homework solutions. The only thing that could save this book is an answer solutions book because then you could learn from all of the homework problems. Without that, the homework is a complete mystery because most of it is never even taught in the chapter they just expect you to know it from somewhere else. In conclusion, DO NOT but this book unless you have no other option.
From an Industrial Practitioner of Process Measurement & Control July 9, 2006

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"

This book has an excellent overview of basic chemical engineering principles. It is perfect as a first chem eng text.
