Guidance for solving problems that require spread sheeting and equation-solving software. A CD-ROM that provides an active learning environment. With this software, students respond to questions and receive immediate feedback, explore variations in process parameters and see the effect of their changes on process operations, and more. 2005 Edition icons in the text margin let you know when it's most helpful to use the ICPP CD-ROM and the Student Workbook.
Reviews

good book Everything came as promised--the book was in the promised condition with the workbook added--in a timely manner.
Excellent The book was new and had the cd and both were in excellent condition. It arrived quickly too.
Concise and Relevent ChE text As a junior Chemical Engineering student, I used this book in my very first class as a chemical engineering course. It covers fundamentals of chemical processes and the physics/chemistry behind them. Turns out much of the material in this book is applicable (at least in part) to every other course in not only a chemical engineering cirriculum but engineering/science in general. The book is very well organized and text is very readable by a complete novice and as a reference later on. There are many examples and challenging problems at the end (which the 2005 edition has fixed the errors in solutions).
not for novice chem engineers okay first off, this book is NOT for 1st or second year students. the examples make sense(some of the time) until you get to the problems in the back of the book and then you wonder why you picked chemical engineering as a major in the first place because these problems really makes you feel sort of dumb. im taking the materials and energy balance class and in my school it's used to weed people out. let me say this again, if you are taking a materials and energy balance class and you need a text, do not get this one. i hear a lot of great things from the text basic principles and calculations in chem eng by D.M Himmelblau and J.B Riggs so get that one instead unless your teacher demands you get this book. truly a horrible book to start out a chem eng major.
Abolsutely Horrible I'm taking the class that goes along with this book at my school and I have to say this is the worst book I have ever seen. Yes it presents material and all that but it does so with very little explanation. If you don't understand it right away this book won't help at all, it won't explain any more, do any detailed examples, or help you with homework solutions. The only thing that could save this book is an answer solutions book because then you could learn from all of the homework problems. Without that, the homework is a complete mystery because most of it is never even taught in the chapter they just expect you to know it from somewhere else. In conclusion, DO NOT but this book unless you have no other option.
