Outlines the concepts of chemical engineering so that non-chemical engineers can interface with and understand basic chemical engineering concepts

Overview of Laboratory and Industrial Scale Practice

Overviews the difference between laboratory and industrial scale practice of chemistry, consequences of mistakes, and approaches needed to scale a lab reaction process to an operating scale

Basics of Chemical Reaction Engineering

Covers basics of chemical reaction eningeering, mass, energy, and fluid energy balances, how economics are scaled, and the nature of various types of flow sheets and how they are developed vs. time of a project

Fluid Flow and Transport

Details the basics of fluid flow and transport, how fluid flow is characterized and explains the difference between positive displacement and centrifugal pumps along with their limitations and safety aspects of these differences

Controlling Chemical Processes

Reviews the importance and approaches to controlling chemical processes and the safety aspects of controlling chemical processes,

Chemical Engineering Design of Unit Operations
