Chem Eng at MTU I Found this book to be great, and attending one of only two schools in the nation that has a unit operations lab with several pilot plants righ in the chemical engineering building, it was a indisposable resource. The examples were great the text was easy to use, and even the price wasnt bad. Next to Perry's this book is the most important chem E book of the arsnal. I feel sorry for those who didnt like this text. it is quite possibly some of the easy to read and learn from text i have ever had the pleaser to work with. | ||
excellent text book Geankoplis was listed as a reference text for our transport operations class, McCabe being the primary text for the course. I'm glad that I spent the extra money to acquire the text Transport Processes and Unit Operations because it was far better at teaching problem solving methods, especially other methods rather than just McCabe Thiele diagrams. It was a more comphrehensive treatment of the subject. | ||
Excellent reference This book is an excellent reference for chemical engineering students. As a textbook, this is not a good choice. Geankoplis put every aspects needed for learning unit operations. However, the language used is old and hard to understand. I would recommend buying this book to accompany your textbooks in unit operations (due to its abundant amount of infos) | ||
Worst book for learning this material If you want to learn chemical engineering tranfer and unit ops, this is NOT the book. The subject matter is complex to begin with and coupling this with a difficult text and non-stop equations, constants, and symbols, further compounds the difficulty in learning this material. Nothing is explained, so a firm understanding of heat transfer and fluid flow is needed from the onset. Examples of problems are given, but steps are skipped, and it is hard to follow how the solutions are obtained. If this is a required text for your course, be prepared for a long, long semester! | ||
It is alright Not a bad book...but is not one of the best that I have read on the topic. The illustrations and examples could have been better. The same with the organization of the book. Chapter 13 should have followed Chapter 7. The problems of this book can easily be fixed with some patience and hard work. | ||
