Basics

cover

Bird/Stewart/Lightfoot - Transport phenomena

One of the fundamental engineering sciences, the study of transport phenomena has applications in a number of emerging fields, such as biotechnology, nanotechnology, and polymer science. While not aiming to be a comprehensive treatment of the subject, this text presents enough material for both an introductory and an advanced course. The second edition features new coverage on a number of topics, including Taylor dispersion, angular momentum conservation, and matrix methods for multicomponent mass transfer.

Properties of fluids

cover

Poling, Prausnitz, O'Connell - The properties of gases and liquids

Any engineer working on a problem knows the frustration of having all the equations but no physical properties! This book is the answer. The book is primarily written for those working with organic chemicals. Even if you are working in inorganic chemistry, the book is useful. Equations for mixture properties are difficult to use, but, easy to set up on a spread sheet. There are many equations for physical properties based on single points.
