A Must-Have in Chemical Engineering.......2006-06-16
If you are a chemical engineer and do not own this text, you will have a hard time. This text covers all physical properties of organic, and some inorganic, gases and liquids. It offers complete theoretical development and practical equations which are amenable to spreadsheets and numerical analysis. Particularly useful is a comparison at the end of every topic showing the accuracy of each method in predicting a property. Presented in tabular form, it allows the reader to choose a method which is sufficient for his/her needs. You may decide to choose a method that is less accurate but easier to program. Every chemical engineer should have this text. My only regret is that we did not have time in undergraduate to use this text. I learned its value from watching the graduate students.
If this review was helpful, please say so. Thanks.
The Classic Reference.......2004-07-31
When you need physical property data, and you don't have exact information; this book provides best available estimations of the physical properties. It has been a great help to me, over the years.
Having worked on a piece of an earlier edition, as a grad student at U of Mo - Rolla; where Bruce Poling was a professor, I know how much work it is putting this together for the industries. My hats off to Bruce and his co-authors, and especially to Nanci, his wife, for doing yoman's work on this 5th edition of a classic!
Excellent Guide to Workings of ASPEN Process Model.......2003-04-21
The book is an absolutely practical treatise of applied thermodymamics. The explanations of how to use property estimation methods are excellent, but invaluable are the comments on their accuracy and recommendations as to when to use which method.
The book served as my operating manual for the ASPEN software for modeling chemical processes. The book documented nearly every method used by ASPEN.
the properties of gases and liquids.......2002-11-27
Viscosity estimation and other properties of gases
Comprehensive, easy to understand.......2002-03-27
I was a bit unconfortable when I bought this book since I was suspicious that this one was one of those unreadable thermodynamic books. Fortunately I was wrong. This book provides you with a complete treatment of the properties of gases and liquids in a plain language stressing the understanding of the basic laws governing the behavior of liquids and gases instead of the mathematic that goes with it. The treatment of the topics is very suitable for engineers since it allows quick understanding of the phenomena and provides a wealth of correlations and methods for estimating properties. The appendixes contain all kind of basic information indeed helpful for applying the correlations showed. Without any hesitation, this book is well worth its price.

Book Description
Potable water supplies that contain arsenic concentrations high enough to pose a human health hazard are a problem of international proportion. Surface water and ground water are both at risk of arsenic contamination. However, most incidences of high concentrations of arsenic have been reported for ground water, which is the subject of this book. The geochemistry of arsenic in aqueous environments is complex. This book consolidates much of what is known about the geochemistry of arsenic and provides new information on relationships between high concentrations of arsenic in ground water and geochemical environments. The subject matter of this book ranges in scope from molecular-scale geochemical processes that affect the mobility of arsenic in ground water, to arsenic contaminated ground water at the national scale. Chapters were contributed by an international group of research scientists from a broad range of backgrounds.
Information includes reviews of existing thermodynamic data for arsenic containing mineral phases and aqueous arsenic species, factors that affect adsorption of arsenic in common ground water environments, and spectroscopic techniques used to determine the chemical reactions controlling arsenic partitioning between solid and liquid phases at particle-water interfaces. A significant portion of this book is devoted to regions where high concentrations of arsenic in ground waters have a natural source. The original source of arsenic can vary; however, arsenic becomes concentrated in the solid and aqueous phases of an aquifer given appropriate geochemical conditions. Often, high arsenic concentrations in the solid phase become mobile if there is a change in ground water chemistry, either natural or anthropogenically induced. Research presented in this book covers several different geologic settings and provides explanations of the geochemical processes that have caused the arsenic concentrations observed in ground water. In situ remediation of arsenic-contaminated ground water can provide a relatively inexpensive alternative to above ground treatment. One chapter of this book discusses natural remediation of an aquifer where naturally occurring arsenic was mobilized by leachate from a landfill. Two chapters discuss results from field experiments designed to alter aquifer geochemistry in order to remove arsenic from ground water prior to withdrawal.
This book will be of interest to scientists working in the field of arsenic, health professionals interested in arsenic exposure, and water-resource managers and regulators.

Book Description
In the final decades of the 1700s, as the threat of revolution began to dim the radiance of the Enlightenment, two brilliant scientists simultaneously achieved a breakthrough that would alter the course of human thought and history: they discovered oxygen. The humble English dissenter Joseph Priestley and the French aristocrat Antoine Lavoisier were unlikely competitors, but their fierce rivalry to solve the “riddle of air” became a kind of eighteenth-century space race, a contest made all the more exciting by the tumult of their time.
In A World on Fire, acclaimed writer Joe Jackson brings to life the seismic intellectual and political shifts that ushered in modern science. Set against the conflagrations of the American Revolution, the storming of the Bastille, and the Reign of Terror, Jackson's narrative deftly weaves together biography and history, scientific passion and political will. With their discoveries inside the laboratory— paving the way for the identification of the elements as well as modern atomic physics—and the tragedy of their downfalls, Priestley and Lavoisier epitomize the plight of the scientist in the modern age. With A World on Fire, Jackson has transformed their story into a spellbinding work of narrative nonfiction.
Customer Reviews:
would give it TEN stars if I could.......2007-03-01
This is simply one of the best books I have ever read; it deserves to be a best seller. Mr.Jackson has meticulously researched this fascinating story, then presented it in a manner and style that make it eminently readable. I am here today to buy copies for all of my friends- something I have never felt compelled to do before. My advice to prospective purchasers: buy it/read it. You will not be disappointed.
An impressive effort.......2006-05-06
It's been a long while since I've read a book on the history of science apart from mathematics. Since many scientific breakthroughs cannot be fully appreciated unless they are firmly grounded in the time and place from which they arose, a good book of this kind must impart a sense of history as successfully as it details the science. Joe Jackson does so, almost to a fault, in this excellent book. The late 18th century saw the breakup of many ancien regimes - witness the French Revolution that claimed the life of Antoine Lavoisier, one of the two main characters in this story - and the "four-element" matrix through which physical scientists had interpreted matter for almost two millennia was not the least of the citadels to crumble. Joseph Priestley, an English chemist and co-founder of Unitarianism, and Lavoisier, an aristocrat with a natural gift for theorizing, led the "race to discover oxygen," or, more properly, to isolate and recognize it as an entity in and of itself - what we now think of as an "element." Ironically, it was Priestley, so willing to break with traditional views on the contentious religious questions of the day, who proved less able to adapt to the "New Chemistry," leaving the field clear for Lavoisier - thanks, in part, to some information provided by Priestley during a dinner described in the book's introduction - to claim the lion's share of laurels as the chemist who initiated the science's modern era. Both men came to rather unfortunate ends - Priestley in exile in America after the French Revolution made his radical ideas suspect, Lavoisier on the guillotine during the insanity of the "Terror" - adding a bit of extra drama to a fascinating scientific tale. Jackson spends rather more time on Priestley - no real surprise, as Priestley's was the more eventful life - but he keeps the twin narratives moving smoothly, and, despite an occasional tendency to overwrite and over-digress, he does a fine job in depicting the world in which these two great scientists operated. Anyone interested in the history of science or chemistry in general should greatly enjoy this book.
Review.......2006-04-18
This book explores the lives of rival chemists Antoine Lavoisier and Joseph Priestley. The adventure begins at a young age for both men. It effectively portrays Priestley's and Lavoisier's historical and personal influences including the French Revolution and the war between France and England. It also manages to include the fiery encounters the men had with each other, most of them ending with Lavoisier gaining inspiration and Priestley losing credit. This book not only displays their many scientific discoveries including the role of oxygen and the paths and frustration they endured to reach them but also their personal lives and the influence others had on them.
The authors' purpose of writing this book was mainly to acknowledge the discoveries that both Lavoisier and Priestley made taking into consideration the fact that some weren't credited as much as they should have been. The author, Viking thoroughly researched both men and was able to uncover direct quotes from both men and others concerning these men. The reader is able to connect with the characters because of the personal feelings Viking was able to reveal not only about others but towards each other as well.
The reader is able to learn about science, in particular chemistry and gain an appreciation for the painstaking years these men suffered to uncover unknown knowledge of the world and the air we breathe everyday. This book also displays the large impact history, mainly wars and revolutions had on these two men.
A beautiful blend of science and history.......2006-04-06
In A World on Fire, Joe Jackson recounts the lives Joseph Priestley and Antoine Lavoisier and their roles in the discovery of oxygen. Joe Jackson goes to great lengths to show the people behind the science. Too often people neglect the lives of the people their personal experiences that lead them to their discoveries, the challenges they overcame to prove their findings to society, and the impact of their work. Yet, Jackson does a marvelous job of encompassing all the aspects of Priestley's and Lavoisier's lives to fully convey the history and science of the discovery of oxygen.
The discovery of oxygen is not a well known story, but certainly deserves recognition as its discovery laid the foundations of modern chemistry. Its story is equally intriguing as it is set in the 1700s amidst the political turmoil in France, England, and America, which is further complicated by the rivalry and debates between the two discoverers of oxygen Priestley and Lavoisier.
With a holistic view of two scientists at the end of the Age of Enlightenment, the reader will come to fully appreciate the genus and devotion of these men. Not only that, but the reader may gain a sense of the excitement and terror to live in such a time when science and nations were redefining themselves ushering us into the modern age.
makes the world of the time come alive! .......2006-03-01
I'm a professional chemist with a long interest in the history of science, including the history of chemistry. I've studied the history of the "chemical revolution" brought about by Lavoisier, Priestley, and others, and have read some of the original works. Even though I know much of the scientific history, this book really brings to life the two protagonists, the Englishman Priestley and the Frenchman Lavoisier, in a way no other book does, including some recent ones that are selling much better. Not only the characters, but their environments, the places and time in which they lived. I'm in the middle of the book and enjoying every word of it. I heartily recommend this book if you're interested in the breakthrough in chemistry that took place in the late eighteenth century, interested in the lives of two of the leading protagonists, or even just interested in the social history of the time. It's a darn good read!
