Unit Operations of Chemical Engineering,   ISBN:9780070393660

Customer Rating: 

Beats buying the US hardcover for nearly $200 dollars. I really dislike this book on the way it's written. BSL is a much more intuitive book and far more detailed but this is obviously a more advanced text.

International Edition is exactly the same but the paper is extremely cheap. Ripping pages by accident is not uncommon. You get what you pay for. I'm gonna take my $100 I saved to buy...

Customer Rating: 

If you only keep one ChE book from school this should be it. Along with Perry's, this is a must have for any ChE in downstream or chemical operations.

Customer Rating: 

Best book I know about Chemical Engineering. It provided me with the theoretical understanding of most of the technological problems through out my life as a responsible engineer working 25 years for an international food company.

Customer Rating: 

Some prior reviewers are mistaken about this book being an annotation of Perry or of little value. The "unit operations" are the framework of chemical engineering. McCabe and Smith was the definitive work on unit operations when I was a student in the 1960's. Updated and with additional authors, it still is.

Customer Rating: 

Warren McCabe has written a unit operations book that is most adequately utilized for fluid mechanics. The separations sections are slightly abbreviated, and lack more refined details that might be found in a more specialized work. However, as a student in a separations course, I found myself referencing this book several times. The examples in the chapters were 'open-ended' enough to require real engineering problem-solving skills. Overall, an extremely well put-together text.
