Introduction to Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics

Summary: A good intro to thermo
Review: This is a good starter book for an intro course in Thermo for Chemical Engineers. Aside from being and extremely boring book to both read and look at, the material is presented well. Heat and Refrigeration cycles are somewhat shallow in detail. The examples throughout the book are not that great, either, but they get the job done. I don't think it is worth the ...price tag (Hint: buy a used one). I kept mine because it has some useful information (i.e., steam tables, critial properties, etc.)

Summary: ok book
Review: Well, I think this book is very informative. Unfortunately it is very boring. But, that just goes with the subj. matter. The one thing that is extremely annoying is the unit conversions table. I think that it could had been placed at a more convinient location (inner front cover) instead of being on pg.651/789. On that note, I'd recomment photocopying the u.c.table when working on the problems. An introductory book to get you started is: Elementary Principles of Chemical Processes (richard m. felder). Great book!
