Product Description
“Unit Operations of Chemical Engineering, 7th edition” continues its lengthy, successful tradition of being one of McGraw-Hill’s oldest texts in the “Chemical Engineering Series”. Since 1956, this text has been the most comprehensive of the introductory, undergraduate, chemical engineering titles available. Separate chapters are devoted to each of the principle unit operations, grouped into four sections: fluid mechanics, heat transfer, mass transfer and equilibrium… More >>

I feel that this book is inadequte for students and professionals alike. It does not explain well how systems act in real life situations, like most academia books
Rating: 1 / 5
I’m a student at the University of Florida, where this text has been recquired for Unit Operations classes (fluids and separations). Frankly I think a better treatment of transport process should be a prerequisite for using this book, as such fundamental theory is insufficiently developed in this text. Even as a pure unit ops. text, I feel it is inferior to several other works, including Perry’s Handbook.

If you are a Chemical Engineer and couldn’t afford the Perry’s, this book is a must!!

Warren McCabe has written a unit operations book that is most adequately utilized for fluid mechanics. The separations sections are slightly abbreviated, and lack more refined details that might be found in a more specialized work. However, as a student in a separations course, I found myself referencing this book several times. The examples in the chapters were ‘open-ended’ enough to require real engineering problem-solving skills. Overall, an extremely well put-together text.

I went to cornell where Prof. Harriot teaches. This book is a must for reference. There are points where it is a little difficult but it is really a overall good book.
