Any good text book,particularly that in the fast changing fields such as engineering & technology,is not only expected to cater to the current curricular requirments of various institutions but also should provied a glimplse towards the latest developments in the concerned subject and the relevant disciplines.It should guide the periodic review and updating of the curriculum.
The book has been written as per the syllabus prescribed by GH Raisoni College of Engineering (RTMNU), Nagpur for the First Semester of Engineering Chemistry students. The book has been developed in view of the recent development of the subject. The book covers important topics such as Water treatment, Fuel and Combustion, Lubricants, Portland Cement, Corrosion, Polymers, Cristal Structure, Structure of Solids, Glass and Ceramics, Environmental Chemistry and Control of Environmental Pollution, Green Chemistry for Clean Technology, Waste Management etc. The book is sincerely offered to students and teaching fraternities associated with engineering chemistry from various engineering and technological institutions all over the country.
Instrumental methods of analysis have become very popular in industrial and research laboratories due to their rapidity,accuracy,precision,convenience and amenability for automation and computerisation.Although engineers are not expected to carry out hemical analysis by themselves,it is absolutely essential for them to have appreciation regarding the principles,applications,merits and limitations of the modern techniques of instrumental chemical analysis.
This book is written exclusively for the students of various branches of engineering in accordance with the latest RTM Nagpur University syllabus, which caters to the requirement of their 1St Semester of engineering.
Experimental Methods and Instrumentation for Chemical Engineers, Second Edition, touches many aspects of engineering practice, research, and statistics. The principles of unit operations, transport phenomena, and plant design constitute the focus of chemical engineering in the latter years of the curricula. Experimental methods and instrumentation is the precursor to these subjects. This resource integrates these concepts with statistics and uncertainty analysis to define what is necessary to measure and to control, how precisely and how often.The completely updated second edition is divided into several themes related to data: metrology, notions of statistics, and design of experiments. The book then covers basic principles of sensing devices, with a brand new chapter covering force and mass, followed by pressure, temperature, flow rate, and physico-chemical properties. It continues with chapters that describe how to measure gas and liquid concentrations, how to characterize solids, and finally a new chapter on spectroscopic techniques such as UV/Vis, IR, XRD, XPS, NMR, and XAS. Throughout the book, the author integrates the concepts of uncertainty, along with a historical context and practical examples.A problem solutions manual is available from the author upon request. - Includes the basics for 1st and 2nd year chemical engineers, providing a foundation for unit operations and transport phenomena - Features many practical examples - Offers exercises for students at the end of each chapter - Includes up-to-date detailed drawings and photos of equipment
This book has been written as per the syllabus prescribed by Sethu Institute of Technology (SIT), Virudhunagar for the First Semester of Engineering Chemistry students.

Designed as an undergraduate-level textbook in Chemical Engineering, this student-friendly, thoroughly class-room tested book, now in its second edition, continues to provide an in-depth analysis of chemical engineering thermodynamics. The book has been so organized that it gives comprehensive coverage of basic concepts and applications of the laws of thermodynamics in the initial chapters, while the later chapters focus at length on important areas of study falling under the realm of chemical thermodynamics. The reader is thus introduced to a thorough analysis of the fundamental laws of thermodynamics as well as their applications to practical situations. This is followed by a detailed discussion on relationships among thermodynamic properties and an exhaustive treatment on the thermodynamic properties of solutions. The role of phase equilibrium thermodynamics in design, analysis, and operation of chemical separation methods is also deftly dealt with. Finally, the chemical reaction equilibria are skillfully explained. Besides numerous illustrations, the book contains over 200 worked examples, over 400 exercise problems (all with answers) and several objective-type questions, which enable students to gain an in-depth understanding of the concepts and theory discussed. The book will also be a useful text for students pursuing courses in chemical engineering-related branches such as polymer engineering, petroleum engineering, and safety and environmental engineering. New to This Edition • More Example Problems and Exercise Questions in each chapter • Updated section on Vapour–Liquid Equilibrium in Chapter 8 to highlight the significance of equations of state approach • GATE Questions up to 2012 with answers
The book in its present form is due to my interaction with the students for quite a long time.It had been my long-cherished desire to write a book covering most of the topics that form the syllabii of the Engineering and Science students at the degree level.Many students,although able to understand the various topics of the books,may not be able to put their knowledge to use.For this purpose a number of questions and problems are given at the end of each chapter.
