This book introduces the basic concepts of chemical engineering plant design and operation at a level understandable to graduate chemists and other scientists. It is aimed particularly at industrial chemists who find themselves working on chemical engineering-type unit operations. It is intended to be a "dip-in" reference, giving guidance on how to, for instance, design pumps, how to measure key process variables and how to use these to calculate the essential design parameters, such as heat and mass transfer coefficients, required for the design (and analysis) of typical unit operations (e.g.

64029 PREFACE The object of the present book is to provide an introduction to the principles and applications of thermodynamics for students of chemistry and chemical engineering. All too often it appears that such students tend to regard the subject as an academic and burdensome discipline, only to discover at a later date that it is a highly important tool of great prac tical value. The writers purpose has been to explain the general structure of thermodynamics, and to give some indication of how it may be used to yield results having a direct bearing on the work of the chemist. More than on

Rheology is an integral part of life, from decorative paint and movement of volcanic lava to the flow of blood in our veins. This book describes, without the use of complex mathematics, how atoms and molecules interact to control the handling properties of materials ranging from simple ionic crystals through polymers to colloidal dispersions. Beginning with an introduction to essential terminology, Rheology for Chemists goes on to discuss limiting behavior, temporal behaviour and non-linear behavior. Throughout, examples of everyday experiments are provided to illustrate the theory, which inc

"Pharmacology for Chemists, Second Edition" is aimed at industrial and academic organic chemists holding advanced degrees who are entering the field of medicinal chemistry, and who have had little or no education in or exposure to the biological sciences, especially physiology and pharmacology. The first portion of this book concentrates on biological/pharmacological principles and concepts, and the second portion demonstrates how these concepts and principles are applicable to the medicinal chemists efforts, by describing some selected categories of drugs as examples. The book is not intended

"... well-suited for self-study by research workers and technologists, who, confronted with technical problems in this area, would like a straightforward introduction to the subject of rheology." Chemical Educator, "... full of valuable insights and up-to-date information." Chemistry World. Rheology is primarily concerned with materials: scientific, engineering and everyday products whose mechanical behaviour cannot be described using classical theories. From biological to geological systems, the key to understanding the viscous and elastic behaviour firmly rests in the relationship between t

AN UNPARALLELED ONE-STOP GUIDE TO FLUORINE NMRGuide to Fluorine NMR for Organic Chemists provides a unique single source on both fluorine NMR and the impact of fluorine substituents on proton and carbon NMR spectra. Helping working chemists overcome the challenges associated with the synthetic methodologies of fluorinated compounds, this guide enables the effective use of these increasingly popular spectroscopic techniques to accurately characterize compounds that contain fluorine.Following a thorough introduction of fluorinated compounds, chapters in the text cover:An overview of fluorine NMR

Chemistry has a human face and the aim of this resource is to present chemists as real people and not stereotypical ’mad scientists’ whose lives are completely dominated by science. It includes carefully chosen examples of chemists through the ages and reflects on the difficulties they overcame. Today we live in a world where scientists are accepted regardless of race or gender, however some examples show that this has not always been the case. "Chemists in a Social and Historical Context" focuses on strategies for teaching about people in chemistry and is an introduction to some c
