Analysis of Transport Phenomena (Topics in Chemical Engineering)

Rating:
Summary: good only if you don't need it
Review: If you are a researcher in transport phenomena, this book will make sense, but you won't need it. Unfortunately it is used for teaching graduate students. There are so many steps skipped and so many examples depend on derivations in other examples (without referring to them) that this book is nearly worthless for teaching purposes. The only good thing is that sometimes if you look in the bibliography you can find an example that makes sense.

Summary: Worst Chem E book ever
Review: The book is difficult to read to say the least. I found myself going back to the appendix 4 or 5 times for just understanding the beginnings of fluids. the use of linear algebra is heavy and the homework is imposible unless you have a very solid background in undergrad transport.

Summary: Briliant!!
Review: This book is well organized, well detailed, and well articulated. The lessons are useful and the text approachable for an academic work. I've read / had to use many other textbooks in my pursuit of a chemical engineering education and this is the best. I give it a whole-hearted recommendation for any serious student.

Summary: I heart this book
Review: This book would be better if the author didnt have a tendancy to leave steps out of most his examples. Problems at the end of the chapters can be really difficult. I highly suggest using another book, or atleast having a good undergraduate text to supplement this one.
