good book in need of a good revision A good book, with excellent didactic approach; but getting dated. The book needs a good revision "asap". The kinetics revision (chap. 1 a 4) is somewhat poor. The reactive chemical systems (chap. 5, 6) are well approached; the liquid phase reaction (chap. 7) is a little too long. The chapters about reactor are very good (chap. 8 to 11). Hill's treatment of heterogeneous reator (chapter 12) is superb. Best among all reactor analysis books that I know. However, chapter 13 and the appendices are useless. The book requires new examples and better figures and tables, as well as, much better list of exercises. In general, new computational calculations (example, data sheets) must be included in the book. | ||
Disappointed - False Advertizing you advertised a hard cover book and thats what I thought I paid for but then they sent me a soft cover book. where is the honesty. I will think twice before making a purchase next time. | ||
Def Not a Beginner Book I am a grad student and am retaking kinetics to review for qualifiers. The class I'm currently in uses the Hill book (this book). I have to admit I find it very lackluster. The writing style is more suited to an academic paper than an introductory text and the examples are often woefully incomplete. I used Fogler for my undergrad course and find it a MUCH better book for introductory courses. The only place that Hill surpases Fogler is in that Hill spends more time on Kinetics by themselves while Fogler wraps Kinetics into reactor design. Still, the nature of the writing and poorly worked examples more or less negate whatever benefit this would entail. | ||
Simple/Comprehensive This book manages to present a powerful insight into chemical kinetics, giving the reader the knowledge necessary to fully understand chemical reactor design. However, it also presents tools useful to everyone who works with kinetics/reactor design I recommend it both to undegraduate and graduate students. | ||
Great text I think this is one of the better chemical engineering textbooks that I've read. I found the text very clear and concise. | ||
