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.

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.

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.

I understand that this topic requires a lot of explanation. This textbook although verbose didn't cover much ground after introducing the topic. Often you will have a good explanation and example and then as the problem gets more difficult steps begin to be skipped by the author making it difficult to actually learn how to master the complicated questions given by your instructor. I feel that this book needs a substantial amount of work. It may have a lot of good information but lacks the ability to convey it to the student.

The book is in great condition. Everything is readable and no torn pages or even folded. The buy was worth it when the quality of the book is compared to its price.

I used this book for my ChE Thermo 1 and 2. It has many great examples. The problems aren't too bad. The information in the book was presented very well. I kept this around and I'm very glad I did! It helped when studying for the FE and also for my upper level classes. It's a great thermo book and I highly recommend it!

I feel that this book didn't take an approach that's astonishingly useful for Chemical Engineering Undergrads. The book lacked a lot of useful explanations and was heavier on theory than application. After looking at Sandler, I was fairly disappointed that this title was used for my course and not Sandler's book. Wouldn't use it to start a fire.

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.

No one can even think about any flaw for that book. Wonderful book. Amazon's service is the best too

Amazon has best service in purchasing online products. I have received all my products before the due date. It was very well packed in plastic bag which can prevent damaging the product. Overall, Amazon is best in purchasing all online products with best customer satisfaction garentee.
