5.0 out of 5 stars Probably the best book for Mass Transfer, May 9, 2000

This review is from: Mass-Transfer Operations, 3rd Edition (Paperback)

I had used this book during my undergrad in India, and still refer to it 3 years after having graduated. Operations well classified for a clearer grasp of the subject - 1. Diffusion 2. Gas-Liquid Operations 3. Liquid-Liquid operations 4. Solid-Fluid operations

Very lucid and detailed. Solved examples well explained for a fantastic understanding. I strongly recommed this book for Mass Transfer.

This review is from: Mass-Transfer Operations, 3rd Edition (Paperback)

This book is a milestone in which Mass Transfer Operations concerns.
Extremely well written and better designed with clever diagrams and illustrative examples it will be hard for you to find another text in the road like this one .
Fundamental for Industrial and Chemical Engineers .

1.0 out of 5 stars Lots of breadth, but extremely poorly written, January 2, 2002

This review is from: Mass-Transfer Operations, 3rd Edition (Paperback)

The good part is that the book covers a wide range of topics in the area of mass transfer. The pity is that the author nearly always has assumed that the person has had instructions in the subject before approaching the topic. In the interest of being pithy, the logic behind the phase diagrams and equations is severly lacking in several chapters. Bottom line: it is good book if you are a practicing chemical engineer who is already familiar with the subject, but pathetic as an introductory text. Stay away unless it is forced on you by the class instructor.
