Chemical Engineering: A First Year Study Guide (en Inglés) - Thomas Rodgers

This textbook introduces new students to the key subjects taught in most undergraduate Chemical Engineering degrees: Process Engineering Fundamentals, Chemical Thermodynamics, Process Fluid Flow, Process Heat Transfer, and Chemical Reaction Engineering. Rather than providing total coverage of all these topics, it explains the material in an accessible way for students new to the subject, allowing them to understand why these topics are important and to ready them for more advanced courses they will encounter later.

• Each chapter begins with learning goals and offers a brief example showing real-world application of the topic.

• Supplies tutorial problems and worked examples throughout as well as interactive graphs for students to test their knowledge.

• Offers derivations for key equations to ensure students have a grounded understanding of all topics.

• Provides suggested reading for readers looking to delve deeper into the key subjects covered.

• Concludes with a large design project to allow students to bring together all the subjects discussed and to introduce other important topics not fully covered in the book, such as safety and costings.

• Offers flexible syllabi: readers can follow the book one subject at a time or can follow a weekly plan for undertaking all subjects concurrently.

Written for students embarking on their Chemical Engineering degree, this textbook explains core Chemical Engineering topics in an approachable way, covering basic theory through applications and aims to help students gain valuable insight into their chosen field.
