Click below to find out how Knovel gives you exactly what you need to prepare for the Chemical Engineering FE Exam:
- Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics: Thermodynamic laws, properties and processes; phase diagrams and equilibrium; equations of state; heat of reactions and mixing; and process efficiency
- Heat Transfer: Conductive, convective and radiation heat transfer and design of heat exchangers
- Chemical Reaction Engineering: Reaction kinetics, reactor’s energy and material balances, reactor types, and catalysis
- Process Control: Process Optimization and safety
- Safety, Health and Environmental: Hazardous properties of materials, industrial hygiene, process hazard analysis and waste treatment
- Chemistry: Improve product yield by optimizing reaction conditions or, in some cases, changing reaction paths or using a different catalyst
- Material / Energy Balances: Application of mass and energy balances, different types of processes and combustion
- Fluid Dynamics: Dimensionless numbers (Reynolds, Prandtl, etc.), friction losses in pipes, pipe networks, non-Newtonian flow, pumps and compressors
- Mass Transfer: Graphical (McCabe-Thiele) and differential (NTU, HETP, HTU, NTP) methods
- Process Design: Process flow diagrams, scale up, cost estimation and economic optimization
Carl L. Yaws is a professor of chemical engineering at Lamar University, Beaumont, Texas. His research interests include technology development; thermodynamic, transport, and environmental property data, and phase equilibrium.
Yaws holds BS in chemical engineering from Texas A&M University and and an MS and PhD in chemical engineering from University of Houston. He is the author of 35 books and has published more than 700 technical papers.
“As both a teaching professor and an author of engineering texts, I have seen the importance of Knovel in finding and disseminating data relevant to chemical engineering students. The Knovel Fundamentals of Chemical Engineering puts the major ChemE topics in one place and allows a student to browse through applicable content, all of which can be found within Knovel.”
