* Includes a mass transfer section containing chapters on absorption and membrane operations--topics not often covered in unit operations textbooks

Reviews


The ChE book to keep
If you only keep one ChE book from school this should be it. Along with Perry's, this is a must have for any ChE in downstream or chemical operations.

HSLOE
Best book I know about Chemical Engineering. It provided me with the theoretical understanding of most of the technological problems through out my life as a responsible engineer working 25 years for an international food company.

A Chemical Engineering Classic
Some prior reviewers are mistaken about this book being an annotation of Perry or of little value. The "unit operations" are the framework of chemical engineering. McCabe and Smith was the definitive work on unit operations when I was a student in the 1960's. Updated and with additional authors, it still is.

Excellent book
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.

fluid mechanics ,transprtation of fluids
it is the best books i have ever read in my semester ofchemical engineering. the topic i like the most, is transportation offluids .this book is recommended by my professor. the matter of turbulent flow and laminar flow is just fantastic.

thank you!
