5.0 out of 5 stars This book is concise,clear and easy to understand.
I have a good chance to study this course with Prof. Wilkes at Petroleum and petrochemical college, Chulalonkorn University in Thailand. This book is very useful for me because it's easy to understand and clear in every step. For example,some part of the fluid mechanics, I think it's very difficult for me to understand in the past(in bachelor's degree) but when I...

2.0 out of 5 stars Fluid Mechanics for Chemical Engineers
This is a simple basic book about fluidics. Not complex equations.
Not a heavy mathematics. Contain useful information about technology process with fluids - bubbles and two phase flow.
Published in 1998 has relatively old information about everything.
Positive side - has a small chapter (20 pages) about

5.0 out of 5 stars A definitive fluid mechanics book for Chemical Engineers, November 5, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Fluid Mechanics for Chemical Engineers (Paperback)
Here is a book that is concise, comprehensive and to the point. The authours are meticulous with the math and present a wide variety of chemical engineering applications of fluid mechanics. The book is surprisingly easy to follow and is highly recommended for any systematic study of the subject. The language is clear and succinct and the layout is pleasing.

5.0 out of 5 stars compatible with any classroom text, February 24, 2002
By 
This review is from: Fluid Mechanics for Chemical Engineers (Paperback)
I think that this book is an indispensable guide for fluid mechanics. It is easy to understand and it lets you progress with your pace with its solved examples. And one can excel in fluid mechanics by solving the suggesred problems of the book. This book not only helps you to understand the concept mathematically but gives the physical meanings of the problems.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, October 6, 2008
It's a good book, except that there are not enough examples, so, you have to work through the material and figure out how to solve it on your own.

1.0 out of 5 stars Wilkes, December 13, 2005
This review is from: Fluid Mechanics for Chemical Engineers (Paperback)
This is the worst text book I have ever used. I used it for an independent study class and my professor agreed that the topics were not rigorously explained. In addition, frequent assumptions were made without explination and referals were made to "lecture notes," which is, of course, useless if you aren't taking this man's lecture.
