Mass Transfer : Fundamentals and Applications (Prentice-Hall International Series in the Physical and Chemical Engineering Sciences)

Rating:
Summary: A decent introduction to mass transfer and separations
Review: I used this text for a junior level mass transfer and separtions course at Michigan State University. It's a good book because it covers everything from the basics of formulating mass transfer models to convective mass transfer to distillation, absorbtion and extraction, but I believe the book is better suited to graduate students or chemical engineering professionals. My undergraduate course only made use of the second half of the book, and I didn't feel it had enough design and application material.

Summary: It's a very good begining
Review: I've used the book in my mass transfer course in Cemical Eng. at Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana and I think thet this book is the best oriented book to the first sight to the subject. However, I think that it could be a little deeper in design oriented themes.That's why I would invite to all seniors and majors in ChemEng to study it and reflect it. After having a good base, any one of you may see a good design book such as Brown's Chemical Engineering Operations.
