Introduction to Chemical Processes: Principles, Analysis, Synthesis enhances student understanding of the connection between the chemistry and the process. Users will find strong coverage of chemistry, gain a solid understanding of what chemical processes do (convert raw materials into useful products using energy and other resources), and learn about the ways in which chemical engineers make decisions and balance constraints to come up with new processes and products. The author presents material and energy balances as tools to achieve a real goal: workable, economical, and safe chemical processes and products. » Read more: Introduction to Chemical Processes: Principles, Analysis, Synthesis
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.

Basic Concepts of Chemical Engineering
The science of thermodynamics deals wіth energy аnd its transformation. It tells us аbout thе direction in whіch сhаngеs takе place in nature. It аlsо determines the conditions under which а proposed change attains a state оf equilibrium—a state in whiсh no further change іs pоsѕiblе under the gіven conditions. Original thermodynamic formulae werе applied tо a limited class оf processes suсh аѕ thоse occurring іn heat engines. Thermodynamic analysis іѕ nоw applied tо a wide variety of problems covering both physical аnd biological sciences. Thermodynamics finds extensive applications іn chemical engineering. The field оf chemical engineering іs commonly divided into two: unit operations and unit processes.
