Physical Chemistry from Ostwald to Pauling
John Servos explains the emergence of physical chemistry in America by presenting a series of lively portraits of such pivotal figures as Wilhelm Ostwald, A. A. Noyes, G. N. Lewis, and Linus Pauling, and of key institutions, including MIT, the University of California at Berkeley, and Caltech. In the early twentieth century, physical chemistry was a new hybrid science, the molecular biology of its time. The names of its progenitors were familiar to everyone who was scientifically literate; studies of aqueous solutions and of chemical thermodynamics had transformed scientific knowledge of chemical affinity. By exploring the relationship of the discipline to industry and to other sciences, and by tracing the research of its leading American practitioners, Servos shows how physical chemistry was eclipsed by its own offspring--specialties like quantum chemistry.John Servos explains the emergence of physical chemistry in America by presenting a series of lively portraits of such pivotal figures as Wilhelm Ostwald, A.

Analysis, Synthesis and Design of Chemical Processes with 3.5 Disk (Prentice Hall International Series in the Physical and Chemical Engineering Sciences) by Richard TurtonPrentice Hall PTRFor upper-level undergraduate chemical engineering courses in Chemical Engineering Process Design, an A.B.E.T. requirement.Designed to help chemical engineering students make the transition from solving well-posed problems in a specific subject to integrating and applying all the knowledge they have gained to solving open-ended process problems. It is intended to help students hone their design skills through process design, rather than plant design and move them toward becoming practicing engineers. In that way, the book takes a systems- oriented approach, rather than to simply provide a compendium of design information. Unit Operations of Chemical Engineering (7th edition)(McGraw Hill Chemical Engineering Series) by Warren McCabeMcGraw-Hill Science/Engineering/Math******Recently Published!****** Unit Operations of Chemical Engineering, 7th edition continues its lengthy, successful tradition of being one of McGraw-Hill's oldest texts in the Chemical Engineering Series. Since 1956, this text has been the most comprehensive of the introductory, undergraduate, chemical engineering titles available. Separate chapters are devoted to each of the principle unit operations, grouped into four sections: fluid mechanics, heat transfer, mass transfer and equilibrium stages, and operations involving particulate solids. Now in its seventh edition, the text still contains its balanced treatment of theory and engineering practice, with many practical, illustrative examples included. Almost 30% of the problems have been revised or are new, some of which cover modern topics such as food processing and biotechnology. Other unique topics of this text include diafiltration, adsorption and membrane operations.
