Books on Fluids

Applied Mathematics and Modeling for Chemical Engineers by Richard G. Rice; Duong D. Do
ISBN: 1118024729
Publication Date: 2012-10-16
Enables chemical engineers to use mathematics to solve common on-the-job problems With its clear explanations, examples, and problem sets, Applied Mathematics and Modeling for Chemical Engineers has enabled thousands of chemical engineers to apply mathematical principles to successfully solve practical problems. The book introduces traditional techniques to solve ordinary differential equations as well as analytical methods to deal with important classes of finite-difference equations.
Handbook of Chemical Processing Equipment by Nicholas P. Cheremisinoff
ISBN: 0750671262
Publication Date: 2000-07-30
The Handbook of Chemical Process Equipment is a major reference on process equipment. It provides practical understanding and description of the working principles, intended applications, selection criteria and fundamental design principles for equipment used throughout the process and allied chemical industries. It is an important reference for engineers, and in particular chemical engineers who will use such a volume throughout their studies and careers.

Ethics in Engineering
