 From an Industrial Practitioner of Process Measurement & Control July 9, 2006
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
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"
Great First Chemical Engineering Book! March 17, 2006

This book has an excellent overview of basic chemical engineering principles. It is perfect as a first chem eng text.
 Little conceptual explanation March 15, 2006
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I'm currently using this book for my Process Calculations course. The book has many example problems and covers unit conversions, material balances, energy balances, single phase and multi-phase systems, etc. Yet, the theory is almost non-existent and the reader is presented with a lot of facts and formulae crammed in with very little conceptual emphasis.
I do not recommend this book, as an introduction to a process calculations course
An excellent introduction March 5, 2006
As this was our first text into the realm of chemical engineering, it is a great introduction into the field. I have referenced this text many times since my freshman year, and would highly recommend it as a introductory tool into any chemical engineering regimen. Material balances are the basis for so many chemical engineering principles, and this book does a great job of spreading the fundamentals of mass and energy balance calculations.
Highly recommend!

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.
