 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.
Good read April 3, 2005

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 October 2, 2003

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.
