Principios Elementales ee los Procesos Quimicos
This introduction to chemical processes lays the foundation for a chemical engineering curriculum. It shows beginning students how to apply engineering techniques to the solution of process-related problems by breaking each problem down into individual component parts, defining the relationships between them, and reuniting them in a single solution. Providing detailed practical examples with every problem, and self-test questions at the end of each chapter, it uses predominantly SI units in its coverage of theoretical components of an engineering calculation, processes and process variables, fundamentals of material balances, single and multiphase systems, energy and energy balances, balances on nonreactive processes, and more.

nice book

Very comprehensive, with more practice problems than you could ever hope to solve. Can’t say I really referred back to this textbook often, but the fact my introductory chemical engineering class ripped most of its content straight from here speaks to its quality.

I believe every single chemical engineering department at every university uses this book for their fundamentals of chemical engineering course.
This book is great and truly reveals general concepts and principles of chemical engineering. Buy a hardcopy because it will be worth the money!

This textbook was amazing for understanding basic mass balances. Chapter four was very detailed and I used it to learn the material throughout my entire mass balances class. However, chapter five was confusing. It didn’t give thorough explanations like in the previous chapters and kind of just assumed you understood. Other than that I’d say it’s a great textbook, very thorough and breaks down complex topics.

An easy and basic understanding about mass and energy balance! This textbook is like a weapon for me during first year in chem engine course. I use this textbook until I was in final year. Really recommended as to compare to other elementary textbooks

For a text book id say this was solid. I did not enjoy performing some of the skills but it had good informational sections with helpful examples worked in. Very good tool for learning tough concepts

An excellent guide for mastering energy and mass balances. Equiped with a good amount of examples and problems as well as appropriate conceptual and theoretical background, this book will help any student of mass and energy balances to understand the subject. I found that this book related concepts to practical situations and was written in an easily understandable manner.
