Thermodynamics Chemical Engineering Books


1.	[no image]	Modern Refrigeration and Air Conditioning, Lab Manual from Goodheart-Willcox Co Price: $19.99 Customer Review: I was specifically looking for detailed information on how to adjust a commercial dehumidifier, and the book just had short bits and pieces on those units. No real specifics on how to set up the pressures and charges for dehumidifiers. Otherwise, the book is fabulous. Great diagrams and loads... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		Thermodynamics DeMYSTiFied from McGraw-Hill Professional Price: $14.70 Customer Review: Book was just as the dealer said it would be thank for the quick work	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


3.		Four Laws That Drive the Universe from Oxford University Press, USA Price: $9.94 Customer Review: Peter Atkins' "Four Laws" is a small book that tackles a big subject. Probably the biggest difficulty for the general reader would be the Boltzmann distribution, that Atkins introduces in the first chapter. The rest of the book explains heat, energy, and work (First Law); entropy, efficiency, and... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


4.	[no image]	Fundamentals of Heat and Mass Transfer from John Wiley and Sons (WIE) Customer Review: It was better than I expected. I bought this product as used, but when i had received this book, i found it like new. Thanks for seller and amazon for this excellent services.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


5.		Fundamentals of Engineering Thermodynamics from Wiley Price: $88.47 Customer Review: Very helpful examples and practice problems. No answers in back-> not helpful!! Still, good explanations and derivations of useful equations in thermo. I definitely recommend this to people looking for a thermo text.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


6.	[no image]	Introduction to Heat Transfer from John Wiley & Sons Inc Price: $86.96 Customer Review: While IDBL does start off very slowly, by the time chapter three starts it really hits it's stride. The book contains a surprising amount of information compared to how readable it is (at least compared to BSL, the long time standard for the subject), and the examples and derivations are relevant... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


7.		Fundamentals of Thermodynamics from Wiley Price: $126.17 Customer Review: This is not a good book for an intro to thermo course! The writing is dry, the explanations poor, the math is too easy to get lost in, and the book assumes prior knowledge that an undergrad student isn't equipped with yet. I would recommend this for grad students or as a reference to professors, as... more info	Customer Rating: 2.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


8.		Rocket Propulsion Elements, 7th Edition from Wiley-Interscience Price: $69.93 Customer Review: The product was what i asked for, so that is pleasing. The transaction was safe and reliable. Thank you	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


9.		Schaum's Outline of Thermodynamics for Engineers, 2ed (Schaum's Outline Series) from McGraw-Hill Price: $13.17 Customer Review: I have been a full-time and adjunct professor for 41 years. This is an excellent text/resource for all thermodynamics students. One could teach the entire first semester and portions of follow-on courses from this text. Material is clearly and logically explained. If left to select a text for the... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


10.		Atmospheric Science, Volume 92, Second Edition: An Introductory Survey (International Geophysics) from Academic Press Price: $42.86 Customer Review: This book is definitely for a student of the atmosphere. I bought it for some personal research I'm doing but I'm not a science person so it's over my head. This is very technical writing but very complete and well written. The book needlessly slips into evolution-speak occasionally but that's... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


11.		Gunpowder: Alchemy, Bombards, and Pyrotechnics : The History of the Explosive That Changed the World from Basic Books Price: $4.00 Customer Review: This is a quick and engaging read and should be regarded as being more for entertainment than education. Anyone who has any prior knowledge on the subject will likely not get a whole lot out of it. My main issue with this book is the condescending nature with which the author regards previous... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


12.		Entropy Demystified: The Second Law Reduced to Plain Common Sense from World Scientific Publishing Company Price: $22.66 Customer Review: This book is for everyone who has heard about entropy, but who cannot understand what it is, thinking it is something mysterious and impossible to understand. This book will show you a way to get closer to the second law of thermodynamics (a protagonist of this law is entropy!), using nothing... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


13.		Fundamentals of Statistical and Thermal Physics (Fundamentals of Physics) from McGraw Hill Higher Education Price: $71.67 Customer Review: Choose Kittel's book. The Kittel's book is much better than this book for beginners in statiscal mechanics. The book is too boring, not simple, not concise...	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


14.	[no image]	Statistical Mechanics (Harper's Chemistry Series) from Harpercollins College Div Price: $80.00 Customer Review: The shipping was timely and the book was in great condition. I'd definitely use them again.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


15.		Solar Engineering of Thermal Processes from Wiley Price: $101.32 Customer Review: Sure, its technical. But anyone with a college level understanding of physics and science should be fine. Thanks to this book, I was able to deal with the engineers that 'energized' my barns. Maybe bit pricey, but this was an excellent investment for me and turned out to be a useful resource for the... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


16.		Schaum's Outline of Heat Transfer from McGraw-Hill Price: $11.72 Customer Review: Delivery of the product took a long time to the point of giving up. In fact I had to go to a local bookstore and purchase the same book so I could get to do what I need to do. I gave away the book I received to another person that needed one. The product however was in very good shape.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


17.		Corrosion Engineering: Principles and Practice from McGraw-Hill Professional Price: $73.67 Customer Review: If you are a corrosionist - as myself - you must buy this book. It deals most of corrosion issues. Some themes are explained in a very clear way. If you are not, just somebody that need to know the basics, it is a very good introductory book to buy. In my opinion, this is the author's best book.	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


18.		Thermodynamics: An Engineering Approach from McGraw Hill Higher Education Price: $40.00 Customer Review: Books do not need to be updated every year. . . the three laws are always the same.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


19.		Introduction to the Thermodynamics of Materials from Taylor & Francis Price: $52.89 Customer Review: This book is just plain awful. How can a book that's been through 5 editions and 30+ years be this bad? Typographical errors are rampant, in the text, the equations, and even a few figures. The notation is inconsistent both across and within chapters. This could all be dismissed as a superficial... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


20.		Introduction to Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics (The Mcgraw-Hill Chemical Engineering Series) from McGraw-Hill Science/Engineering/Math Price: $151.32 Customer Review: 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.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


21.		An Introduction to Statistical Thermodynamics from Dover Publications Price: $11.76 Customer Review: I am enjoying reading the book. The basic theory has been well established in this area, although the book was written a few decades a ago, it is still a very classic book for a beginner in this area.

22.		Combustion Physics from Cambridge University Press Price: $70.25	Click here for more information


23.		Schaum's Outline of Physical Chemistry (2nd Edition) from McGraw-Hill Price: $10.33 Customer Review: I found this book is too technical to be useful. I want to like it, but to be honest, I can't say it has ever helped me understand a topic I was having trouble with. It is all math, math, and more math. That may be what physical chemistry is all about, but the problem is the math does not do a... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


24.		Molecular Driving Forces: Statistical Thermodynamics in Chemistry & Biology from Garland Science Price: $71.31 Customer Review: I feel no need to explain this. This book is absolutely great. Buy and read it.	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


25.		Introduction to Modern Statistical Mechanics from Oxford University Press, USA Price: $44.45 Customer Review: This book is essentially useless on its own. People who take Chandler's class can't comment on this book fairly with regards to its applicability outside of Berkeley. Don't buy.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


26.		Fundamentals of Momentum, Heat and Mass Transfer from Wiley Price: $59.75 Customer Review: Great book, good format, good pictures but not too busy. Does a good job of explaining clearly and giving good examples and practice problems.	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


27.		Distillation Design from McGraw-Hill Professional Price: $59.46 Customer Review: Highly recommend book for those who are looking for distillation know-how or practice experience to solve problems. It is equally useful for designers as well as for industrial engineers.	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


28.		Fundamentals of Engineering Thermodynamics from Wiley Price: $67.00 Customer Review: I have changed title from best to excellent because I have looked at Cengel Boles 3rd ed in the mean time which in some explanations I found a little better, and it answered some questions that arose in my mind, like max work between equilibrium states. There seems to be a lot of parallelism... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


29.		An Introduction to Fire Dynamics, 2nd Edition from Wiley Price: $67.50 Customer Review: A mile stone book on the now consolidated Fire Safety Engineering science. A very good textbook as well as introduction book	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
