General Chemistry for Engineers

General Chemistry for Engineers explores the key areas of chemistry needed for engineers. This book develops material from the basics to more advanced areas in a systematic fashion. As the material is presented, case studies relevant to engineering are included that demonstrate the strong link between chemistry and the various areas of engineering.

• Serves as a unique chemistry reference source for professional engineers
• Provides the chemistry principles required by various engineering disciplines
• Begins with an 'atoms first' approach, building from the simple to the more complex chemical concepts
• Includes engineering case studies connecting chemical principles to solving actual engineering problems
• Links chemistry to contemporary issues related to the interface between chemistry and engineering practices

Undergraduate chemical, biochemical, biological,and biomedical engineering students as well as aerospace, agricultural, civil, environmental, materials, metallurgical, petroleum, and nuclear engineering students; engineers in related fields who need a chemistry in engineering reference
