PHI Learning, 2012. First edition. Softcover. New. This book is an outgrowth of the author’s teaching experience of a course on Introduction to Chemical Engineering to the first-year chemical engineering students of the Indian Institute of Technology Madras. The book serves to introduce the students to the role of a chemical engineer in society. In addition to the classical industries, the role of chemical engineers in several esoteric areas such as semiconductor processing and biomedical engineering is discussed. Besides highlighting the principles and processes of chemical engineering, the book shows how chemical engineering concepts from the basic sciences and economics are used to seek solutions to engineering problems. The book is rich in examples of innovative solutions found to problems faced in chemical industry. It includes a wide spectrum of topics, selected from the industrial interactions of the author. It encourages the student to see the similarities in the concepts which govern apparently dissimilar examples. It introduces various concepts, using both physical and mathematical bases, to facilitate the understanding of difficult processes such as the scale-up process. The book contains several case studies on safety, ethics and environ-mental issues in chemical process industries. Contents: Preface 1. Role of a Chemical Engineer 2. Modern Chemical Engineering Plants 3. Chemical Engineer and Chemical Engineering Profession 4. Role and Importance of Basic Sciences in Engineering 5. Dimensionless Analysis and Scale up—Another Illustration of How Physics and Mathematics can be Combined 6. Semi-empirical Approach in Engineering—Departure from Scientific Rigor: Applications in Atmospheric Pollution and Turbulence 7. Safety, Health, Environment and Ethics Appendix—MATLAB Programs Index Printed Pages: 184., PHI Learning, 2012, Mineola, New York, U.S.A.: Dover Pubns, 2004. This is a new book with a small corner crease on rear cover. Explores the phenomena that occur in atmospheric sciences: meteorology, oceanography, physics, chemistry, and volcanology. Illustrated..

Where do raindrops come from? What happens when they hit the sea? What significant events occur where sea and air meet? Research scientist Duncan Blanchard a Fellow of both the American Meteorological Society and the American Association for the Advancement of Science examines these and many other questions in an effort to promote a better understanding of the atmospheric sciences. In the course of his investigation, he takes readers into the realms of meteorology, oceanography, physics, chemistry, and volcanology. In this popular treatment, Dr. Blanchard probes an exciting array of topics, among them The Flight of the Raindrops; The Surface of the Sea; Expulsion from Flatland; Electricity from the Sea; Volcanoes, Sea Water, and Electricity; and A Volcano at the Surface of the Sea. Readers are invited to perform experiments described in the text most of which can be carried out with a minimum of equipment. Presented in layman's language and filled with photographs and illustrations that enhance understanding, this book is a fascinating look at the workings of nature. biological sciences,biology,earth sciences,environment,rivers,science,science and math,science and scientists,science and technology,weather Biology, Dover Publications, Incorporated<
