As a chemical engineer (many of these go beyond the undergraduate level):
1) The principles of chemical equilibrium, by Kenneth George Denbigh
2) Mass Transfer by Sherwood
3) Process Dynamics, Modeling, and Control by Babatunde Ogunnaike and W. Harmon Ray
4) Chemical Process Industries by Shreeves
5) An Introduction to Numerical Methods and Analysis by James F. Epperson
6) Optimization: Theory and Practice by Gordon S.G. Beveridge and Robert S. Schechter
7) Unit Operations by Maccabe and Smith
8) Advanced transport phenomena by John Charles Slattery
Admittedly these are not the best known of books (eg. Sherwoods Mass Transfer is almost out of print, in favor of Treybal) but I these are my favorites.
- naedish 8y agoI thought Perry's[0] was considered the Bible by all Chemical Engineers :) [0] (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perry's_Chemical_Engineers'_Handbook https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perry's_Chemical_Engineers'_...)
- HaoZeke 8y agoPerry's is a good reference book, but certainly not appropriate for research work or conceptual understanding. It is invaluable for people int the chemical industry though, and it serves as a great introduction to the many subjects which chemical engineers deal with. I used to browse it in my UG days..
- mjfl 8y agoon the subject, would love a tutorial introduction to total synthesis...
- Loic 8y agoAnd if you are into fluid phase equilibria, "Thermodynamic Models: Fundamentals & Computational Aspects", by Michelsen and Mollerup.
- mindentropy 8y agoI am looking for a good, interesting and easy to understand book on Chemistry for beginners. What textbook do you recommend which covers both organic and inorganic?
