Chemical Engineering: The Essential Reference

Chemical Engineering: The Essential Reference is the condensed but authoritative chemical engineering reference, boiled down to principles and hands-on skills needed to solve real-world problems. Emphasizing a pragmatic approach, the book delivers critical content in a convenient format and presents on-the-job topics of importance to the chemical engineer of tomorrow—OM&I (operation, maintenance, and inspection) procedures, nanotechnology, how to purchase equipment, legal considerations, the need for a second language and for oral and written communication skills, and ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology) topics for practicing engineers. This is an indispensable resource for anyone working as a chemical engineer or planning to enter the field. Praise for Chemical The Essential Reference: “Current and relevant... over a dozen topics not normally addressed... invaluable to my work as a consultant and educator.” — Kumar Ganesan, Professor and Department Head, Department of Environmental Engineering, Montana Tech of the University of Montana “A much-needed and unique book, tough not to like... loaded with numerous illustrative examples... a book that looks to the future and, for that reason alone, will be of great interest to practicing engineers.” — Anthony Buonicore, Principal, Buonicore Partners
