3-0 out of 5 stars It was like they told
It was great... I order a newer book with expideted shiping. Guess what IT DID NOT ARRIVE. So this was a little damage in the cover arrive promptly and was my best choice. The book was in better conditions of what I expected.

5-0 out of 5 stars Overall and Excellent Textbook
I have used this textbook for the last three years in my undergraduate chemical engineering thermodynamics course.Material is presented in a general way and teaches students general problem solving strategies so they can solve any problem, not just a few convenient special cases.There are numerous examples provided for each section of the text and each example is presented step by step.There are a wide range of problems provided at various levels of difficulty from easy to very difficult.In addition, the authors provide a number of Excel spreadsheets and computer programs so that students can solve very complicated phase equilibria problems with little effort.

The only negative comment I have is that the last copy of this textbook I recieved was printed poorly, and the binding fell apart after only one semester of use.The previous two copies I received did not have this problem.

In response to the poster who said their tutor called it a "waste of money", one should keep in mind that this is a chemical engineering textbook, while the Boles text is geared toward mechanical engineers.By the time chemical engineering students take thermodynamics, they have had ayear of chemistry, followed by organic chemistry and physical chemistry (or are taking p-chem at the same time as their thermodynamics course).In addition, ChE majors also get basic thermodynamics (1st Law energy balances) in Material and Energy Balances.This text picks up right where the MEB course ends.

5-0 out of 5 stars Amir Vahid
I have read the book that was written by Prof. Elliott and Prof. Lira while I was a M.Sc student in Iran. Chapter 15 captured my interests and that's why now I am a Ph.D. student in Prof. Elliott's group. I would suggest the authors to update Chapter 15 and give more FORTRAN programs related to this chapter to readers and explain it in a more coherent way. Also, they should compare their's with Sandler's thermo book to gather some new ideas for the next edition. The name of the book also should be changed for future edition since it's objective is for both undergraduate and graduate students. Finally, I should say that this book was the best thermo book I have ever read.

1-0 out of 5 stars Introductory? Says who?
I bought this book a few weeks ago thinking that it will give me a good base to begin my first thermo course next year. I was so lost and confused by the book that I immediately sought help, and my tutor told me that I hadcompletely wasted my money.If you are someone who has never done thermobefore, like myself, save your money for something more useful: there isnothing introductory about this text.Try checking out Thermodynamics: AnEngineering Approach by Boles (a MUCH better introductory text-book).

3-0 out of 5 stars Makes you work!
I think the text was pretty good; it made you consult references frequently, and that is a necessary skill to have as an engineer.As an engineer you have to know how to pick up theoryand put it to use quickly. The problems were rough and time consuming, but that's because no problemsin engineering are easy!When completed, though, you are satisfied.Tothe last guy:"physics" is the one major that can do anything! Everything in science is either physics or bug collecting, whether you likeit or not :)But, engineering is more marketable. ... Read more

3-0 out of 5 stars Decent book, there could be better ones
This book explains the basics of thermodynamics very well. However, when it comes to conceptual things like fugacity and bubble point, i feel that the book does a poor job.

It is a great condition book, however, it was shipped very slowly, and I didn't receive it until 2 weeks after the purchase.

5-0 out of 5 stars Carlos's Review
This edition of the Introduction to Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics is much more friendly version to the reader than former ones. It also has more industry related problems. Another change with respect to the former ones is that The example problems are exposed and solved in the SI system of units, which is a more globally used system than the English one.

It is a classic book for chemical engineers and a must read book either as a main textbook or as an alternate textbook, for anyone planning to do undergraduate or graduate thermodynamic courses in that discipline.

4-0 out of 5 stars Pretty good for a book you grow to hate
As far as text books go, this one is not bad.It's decently well written and put together.There are a lot of graphs and diagrams to explain the material.There are not as many example problems as there need to be, but the questions at the end of the chapter are very straightforward.Not a very extensive reference section either. ...

4-0 out of 5 stars PE exam success
what can i say, these books helped me ace the test. recommend to anyone who has to take the exam.

4-0 out of 5 stars Very straight forward manual, problems could be better
I am currently using this book to review for the PE exam.The main chapter material is wonderful and very straight forward. I wish I had this book when I was in school.Several reference tables and figures are great for making quick work of routine problems and problems a young engineer like myself normally solves with a computer. The main downside is the end of chapter problems.If you're reviewing for the PE, you MUST buy the solutions manual to make the questions worth while.Some of the problems aren't stated clearly and you'll need the manual to clarify what is being asked for.It is common for problems to use ambigous units such as psi (instead of psia or psig) and unit in terms of other variables (per cubic foot of bed, or per pound formula weight).When you do get the solutions manual, the problems are solved without units.This is difficult on problems with mixed english/SI units (but a good review).Dispite the difficulty with the problems, this is the best of the review manual in my opinion and I wouldn't want to go into the exam without it.

4-0 out of 5 stars Virtually the only resource I used
I found this book to be extremely helpful both in preparation for and in taking the Chemical Engineering PE examination.While the practice problems are a good review, I thought they tended be more difficult than the actual test.Additionally, the book covers all the high points that are on the exam.The layout is excellent and with a little familiarity (and some page tabs) I was able to find every reference I needed in very little time during the test.

5-0 out of 5 stars This book is solely intended for PE exam review.
I wrote this book soley as a study guide for preparing for theprofessional engineerng exam in chemical engineering.When I teach thecourse for this subject, I tell my students that the only way to learn howto prepare for the exam is to do the problems.This book is not intendedto be the "single sourcebook" for the exam.Instead, as you dothe problems, you will determine what other standard books YOU will need. I am aware that Engineering Economics is now not part of the PE exam, but Ikeep it in the book because there still have been questions on the examthat have some aspects of econcomics in them.I rate this 5 stars not onlybecause I wrote it but I have seen how it gives confidence to thosepreparng for the exam in my classes.I have all but finished the nextedition-expanding to 42 chapters from 19- but its publication is still indoubt with the same publisher at this time. The few remaining chapters willbe finished after completing my PhD in 1999. We'll see what happens then.

2-0 out of 5 stars Good only for the sample problems
This is not a good book to learn chemical engineering from, nor is it particularly good as a review of engineering for the practicing engineer.If you are planning to take the Professional Engineering examination in chemical engineering and you have good chemical engineering books from your college days, I would encourage you to use the old books to review the fundamentals.

Where this book comes in useful is in the many problems it gives at the end of each chapter.I found working these problems to be the best preparation for the exam.If you buy this book, I would suggest you to also buy the solutions manual for the problems.This manual is also available from Amazon. ...

i received the book in the shortest amount of days possible right in time for the big test.

5-0 out of 5 stars Most Established Thermo text is also most up to date
In the new 7th edition I saw for the first time an equation of state explicit for density.

5-0 out of 5 stars A fundamental text !
As Chemical Engineering demands from you three Thermodynamics , this book is for you . I do not remember any other book so well written and with so clear explanation about the fugacity concepts for instance . The solved problems about the first and second law of Thermodynamics are extraordinary .
After you are engaged with this text you will forget your teacher without missing him .

2-0 out of 5 stars Useless
Ok, so i am a chemical engineering student, and this is supposed to be the textbook. Which allegedly would later on make it a forced reference for a student. However, the only useful information is the steam tables, because the properties and other things are insufficient, trust me, the book has sitted on my shelf unused for a year and a half. I have not sold it because no one here would buy it. The explanations are poor. If you want to know about thermodynamics, this is really not your book, I would rather recommend a Fisicochemistry book.

As for properties tables and the such, well, the information you are really going to use is all summed up in the Chemical Engineer's Handbook, which is a must for any ChE, even if you're just a student (believe me, it has saved me a lot of times).

2-0 out of 5 stars Old, outdated classic cant compete with modern thermo books!
Although the book is totally introductory, it does *not* serve well to teach you something. Contents, concepts, structure, didactics, writing style and layout are more than obsolete: this text is the worst US-textbook on thermo ever (engineering thermo/chemical thermo/chemical engineering thermo), believe me! If you do not share my opinion, then it must be due to your absolute ignorance regarding this field or your pretended incompetence. This book is neither worth buying, owning, working with, nor looking at. Do not waste your time with this superficial and totally introductory, conveying-nothing text. The reason why this has been a best-seller from the late 1940's to the late 1980's (four decades!) is its age: it has been the *very* first, (c)1949, and thus, the most well-known, popular book on chem eng thermo. 'The eldest' is always being respected the most ("a classic"), but this does not mean that a best-selling classic is the best. Forget this outdated title of the (outdated?) McGraw-Hill Chemical Engineering Series and profit from the new fresh look and uptodate, modern approach taken by competitive book series (Wiley, Prentice Hall, Wiley-Interscience, and...McGraw-Hill ;). Smith's 6th edition book is an incredibly poor monograph! And by the way, it is rather a treatment of Engineering Thermodynamics than a treatment of Chemical (Engineering) Thermodynamics!! Since this obsolete classic cannot compete with the new titles, I give a 2-stars rating only. 50 years ago, Smith was the de facto standard intro text (and it remains an "Introducation" throughout the 800 pages!), now this has changed.
Please also read my pos reviews of thermo books by Stanley I. Sandler 1999 (for advanced learners), Noel de Nevers 2002 (for beginners), and Stanley M. Walas 1985 (for workers). For a complete listing of relevant thermo titles have a look at table 8-1, pages 8.2-8.4, in Poling/Prausnitz/O'Connell 5th ed. c2001. ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars Straight Forward Fluid Mechanics
I have read the other reviews of this book and it is obvious there are conflicting feelings about the material contained in this book.I personally feel this book is a good quality and very useful to a practicingengineer.The book is sometimes a little unclear as to where some of theequations come from or how to read a diagram.I had the privledge oftaking this class at Texas A&M from Dr. Ron Darby (the author).Histeaching styles are 'old school' but very effective.He and his book makethe student THINK about what the answer is.Having taken the class fromDr. Darby, I know clearly where all its equations come from and everythingprinted in the book is accurate.Dr. Ron Darby is an extremely competentindividual and any reader who doesn't understand the book is probablylooking for someone to give them the answer rather than think forthemselves.

5-0 out of 5 stars Excellent text and reference book for engineers.
The course taught from this book was the most useful course I have taken.The book covers a wide range of topics including Newtonian andnon-Newtonian fluids and gases, pipes and fittings, pumps and compressors,meters and control valves, filters, centrifuges, settlers, etc.The bookis clearly written and emphasizes the solution of practical fluids problemsstarting from first principles.There are many challenging problems whichdeal with "real world" situations - not the idealized orhypothetical problems you see in a lot of books.I use this book more onthe job than any of the books that I had for courses in school.There werea few typos in the first printing, but these have been corrected in thelater printings.I highly recommend the book for both students andpractising engineers.

1-0 out of 5 stars Poorly presented, poorly formatted, full of errors.
I used the book for my introductory fluid mechanincs class, and my peers unanimously agreed that this book was the worst book they had ever used for a class. Equations come from nowhere, and practice problems appear beforeany discussion of material needed to solve them.There are no colordiagrams, and the B&W ones that are there are are crude and confusing. The book is full of typographical errors. According to my professor for theclass, although he didn't like this book either, it was better than theothers available in this subject.I shudder to think that a book could beless useful than this one. ...

Product Description

A chemical engineer's guide to managing and minimizing environmental impact.

Chemical processes are invaluable to modern society, yet they generate substantial quantities of wastes and emissions, and safely managing these wastes costs tens of millions of dollars annually. Green Engineering is a complete professional's guide to the cost-effective design, commercialization, and use of chemical processes in ways that minimize pollution at the source, and reduce impact on health and the environment. This book also offers powerful new insights into environmental risk-based considerations in design of processes and products.

First conceived by the staff of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Green Engineering draws on contributions from many leaders in the field and introduces advanced risk-based techniques including some currently in use at the EPA. Coverage includes:

  • Engineering chemical processes, products, and systems to reduce environmental impacts
  • Approaches for evaluating emissions and hazards of chemicals and processes
  • Defining effective environmental performance targets
  • Advanced approaches and tools for evaluating environmental fate
  • Early-stage design and development techniques that minimize costs and environmental impacts
  • In-depth coverage of unit operation and flowsheet analysis
  • The economics of environmental improvement projects
  • Integration of chemical processes with other material processing operations
  • Lifecycle assessments: beyond the boundaries of the plant

Increasingly, chemical engineers are faced with the challenge of integrating environmental objectives into design decisions. Green Engineering gives them the technical tools they need to do so.

3-0 out of 5 stars Not the best book I've ever used.
I used this book for a graduate level course, "Advances in Pollution Prevention".This book is not the best book I've ever read.The end-of chapter problems are mediocre, and often insult the reader's ability, particularly as a graduate level chemical engineering student.One example that comes to mind is where the problem requests the student to "write a 2 page essay" on some topic or another.It could use a lot more "meat" - stronger use of reaction kinetics, thermodynamics, and transport phenomena.The writing is difficult to follow, and sounds like a government report (not surprising, as the authors work for the EPA).

Editorial Review

Product Description

The role of the chemical reactor is crucial for the industrial conversion of raw materials into products and numerous factors must be considered when selecting an appropriate and efficient chemical reactor. Chemical Reaction Engineering and Reactor Technology defines the qualitative aspects that affect the selection of an industrial chemical reactor and couples various reactor models to case-specific kinetic expressions for chemical processes.

Offering a systematic development of the chemical reaction engineering concept, this volume explores:

  • essential stoichiometric, kinetic, and thermodynamic terms needed in the analysis of chemical reactors
  • homogeneous and heterogeneous reactors
  • residence time distributions and non-ideal flow conditions in industrial reactors
  • solutions of algebraic and ordinary differential equation systems
  • gas- and liquid-phase diffusion coefficients and gas-film coefficients
  • correlations for gas-liquid systems
  • solubilities of gases in liquids
  • guidelines for laboratory reactors and the estimation of kinetic parameters

The authors pay special attention to the exact formulations and derivations of mass energy balances and their numerical solutions. Richly illustrated and containing exercises and solutions covering a number of processes, from oil refining to the development of specialty and fine chemicals, the text provides a clear understanding of chemical reactor analysis and design.

4-0 out of 5 stars Introduction to Chemical Engineering Computing
The book covers the various computational tools required by students and chemical engineers and gives a broad spectrum of chemical engineering subjects with the exception of process control. It would be nice to see more examples with Excel spreadsheet and Matlab in the revised edition. As an introductory text in Chemical engineering computing, I think FEMLAB should be excluded, and perhaps more emphasis on HYSYS or ASPEN process simulator. In all, Professor Finlayson has done a remarkable job in introducing his lectures at the University of Washington to the readers.

1-0 out of 5 stars Not much more than a formula book
I am an industry professional who bought this book to be a small, handy pocket reference, and I am pretty disappointed with what it contains for the price.It's basically just a small formula book with very little explanation for each section.The pages are literally not large enough for anything meaningful to fit on them, and the text is often times far too specific to one application.I would recommend this book if it cost $5, but for $50, you can do much, much better. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars remarkable service
I found the book in excellent form, brand new as I have ordered, and as regard to services, oh my God!! great service with no waste of time, the item came since before the due time!!!! thanks for your services

5-0 out of 5 stars Good source of ChE problems!
From the perspective of a ChE instructor, I found this textbook a very good source of homework and mid terms problems. If you are teaching a numerical method course or one where modeling and simulation is the focus, this is a textbook for your personal library. The problems range from linear, non-linear equations, ODE to PDE equations that can be solve using the "method of lines". You can find a nice range of topics, including bioreactors, heat transfer, fluid mechanics, chemical reactions, process control, etc. Partial solutions are given to most of them. From the book's Web Site you can download many solved problem files in MATLAB, EXCEL AND POLYMATH; unfortunately, students also can download them. The Appendix includes a nice classification of all the problems, according to their application area (thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, mass transfer, etc.).

If you are hoping to learn programming, in particular MATLAB, this is not the textbook. MATLAB is used in almost all the chapters; unfortunately, the "method of lines" solutions are in POLYMATH.

Last, but not least; the price of the textbook is just perfect ($47) considering all the time you can save with this source of solved problems. ... Read more
