Introduction to Chemical Engineering
by Kenneth A. Solen, John N. Harb · Kenneth A. Solen, John N. Harb
A first-year survey of the chemical engineering discipline, introducing material balances, energy, fluid flow, reaction, and separations through short applied examples. Readers finish with a sense of what the field covers and whether the major suits them.
