2.0 out of 5 stars
Full of Mistakes,
This review is from: Separation Process Engineering (2nd Edition) (Hardcover)
I'm only 3 chapters into this book and the number of mistakes in it is appalling. The author consistently refers to the wrong equations, messes up derivations of essential equations (the operating line, for one), and is not very well written, either. It also is almost entirely about distillation.
I will not be looking forward to the rest of the semester with this book.

Don't waste your money,
This review is from: Equilibrium-Staged Separations (Hardcover)
An abomination. Clarified nothing. Obfuscated everything. Poorly illustrated. Sent me running to the library for alternate sources.

Taught me what my Professor didn't,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Separation Process Engineering (2nd Edition) (Hardcover)
This book is a must-have for anyone interested in Process Separations. While it does seem a bit distillation-heavy, the author does a very good job at deriving his formulas and explaining all the terms and concepts clearly. When I took this course in college, my professor was absolutely awful, and I was so glad to have this book to rely on. Now, as a senior in Chemical Engineering, I find myself reaching for this book whenever I have a question about Separations, and I always find my answer.I haven't come across other Separations textbooks, so I can't compare this book to the market. However, I don't think you'll be disappointed if you're looking to learn the fundamentals, or brush up on your knowledge.
