Book Description

Introduction to Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics, 7/e, presents comprehensive coverage of the subject of thermodynamics from a chemical engineering viewpoint. The text provides a thorough exposition of the principles of thermodynamics and details their application to chemical processes. The chapters are written in a clear, logically organized manner, and contain an abundance of realistic problems, examples, and illustrations to help students understand complex concepts. New ideas, terms, and symbols constantly challenge the readers to think and encourage them to apply this fundamental body of knowledge to the solution of practical problems.

The comprehensive nature of this book makes it a useful reference both in graduate courses and for professional practice. The seventh edition continues to be an excellent tool for teaching the subject of chemical engineering thermodynamics to undergraduate students.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good for a book you grow to hate, February 15, 2008

This review is from: Introduction to Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics (The Mcgraw-Hill Chemical Engineering Series) (Hardcover)
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Carlos's Review, September 23, 2008
By 
This review is from: Introduction to Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics (The Mcgraw-Hill Chemical Engineering Series) (Hardcover)
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Solid textbook, February 25, 2006
By 
Maciej Biskup (Amherst, MA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Introduction to Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics (The Mcgraw-Hill Chemical Engineering Series) (Hardcover)
This is a solid thermo textbook. Goes over concepts and theories fairly well. There are plenty of worked out examples throughout the chapters and appendixes so you know what you're doing. The authors explain everything in a clear and cohesive manner. Somethings are overwhelming, but it is thermodynamics. Plenty of appendixes for steam tables, interroplation, unit conversions, and virial equation constants, etc.

I suggest you get the Schaum's outline as a good reference too.
