Chemical engineering, traditionally speaking, іѕ аbout the design and operation of chemical plants. It іs а combination of industrially relavant chemistry and mаnу physical process suсh аs fluid motion, energy transfer аnd diffusion оf chemicals. It has evolved into an inter-disciplinary filed that combines biology with engineering аnd technology.
Chemistry and the Chemical Industry: A Practical Guide for Non-Chemists
As chemical companies strive to be more competitive in the world economy, it is essential that their employees, including sales and marketing personnel, as well as administrative support groups understand the basic concepts of the science upon which the industry is based. The authors, who have over 100 years of combined experience in the chemical industry, developed this easy-to-read book to provide a fundamental understanding of the chemical industry for non-chemists and those poised to enter the chemical profession.

Chemical and Energy Process Engineering
Emphasizing basic mass and energy balance principles, Chemical and Energy Process Engineering prepares the next generation of process engineers through an exemplary survey of energy process engineering, basic thermodynamics, and the analysis of energy efficiency. By emphasizing the laws of thermodynamics and the law of mass/matter conservation, the author builds a strong foundation for performing industrial process engineering calculations. The book’s systematic treatment applies these core principles on a macro-level scale, allowing for more manageable calculations.
