is a premier core textbook for undergraduate students of chemical engineering and chemical technology. Published by Universities Press , this authoritative work bridges the gap between pure macroscopic physics and complex industrial applications.
| Feature | Description | |---------|-------------| | | The author starts with the why of each law before diving into the how , which helps students internalize the physical meaning rather than just memorizing equations. | | Numerical Emphasis | Over 150 fully solved examples, plus an additional 250+ end‑of‑chapter problems. This volume of practice is invaluable for mastering calculation techniques. | | Data‑Rich Appendices | Thermodynamic property data for a wide range of chemicals (including petroleum fractions) are compiled, reducing the need to consult multiple handbooks. | | Exam‑Oriented | Many problems are directly aligned with the pattern of Indian engineering entrance and graduate exams, making the book a go‑to revision tool. | | Compact Yet Complete | Although the book is relatively thin compared with some Western texts (e.g., “Thermodynamics” by Smith, Van Ness & Abbott), it covers everything a typical B.Tech curriculum demands. |
