Advanced Engineering Chemistry, Second Edition

Back

Description

This completely updated text/reference is designed to present the fundamental principles of chemistry with strong emphasis on experiments, applications and topics in engineering and the problems created by chemical processes. The three-part structure of the book (Chemistry - I, Chemistry - II, and Chemistry Laboratory) covers more advanced topics in applied chemistry including thermodynamics, polymers, fuel combustion, water treatment and environmental pollution. It can be used by practicing engineers, chemists, and scientists -- or as a text in standard university courses in engineering chemistry, chemical engineering, and chemistry for engineers. Numerous experiments and applications of modern chemical theory, illustrations, in-text examples and exercises have been included.

Features

• Provides extensive discussions of thermodynamics, electrochemistry, polymers, corrosion, fuel combustion, water treatment and environmental pollution--with emphasis on topics of interest in engineering
• Includes a Chemistry Laboratory section demonstrating 15 in-depth experiments with discussion questions
• Designed as a text/reference, it provides practicing engineers, scientists, and students with the up-to-date concepts of applied chemistry
• Numerous applications of modern chemical theory, illustrations, in-text examples with solutions, and exercises have been included to assist with self-study
