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!

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

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.
