Chemical Engineering: License Review
Product Description This is a review manual to assist students preparing for the PE exam in all 50 states. This review book includes 146 example problems with detailed step-by-step solutions. This book covers all topics on the exam. The introductory chapter reviews the test specifications and the author's recommendation on the best strategy for passing the exam. The first chapter reviews English and SI units and conversions. A complete conversion table is given. Chapter 3 covers heat transfer, conduction, transfer coefficients and heat transfer equipment. Chapter 4 covers evaporation principles, calculations and example problems. Distillation is thoroughly covered in chapter 5. The subsequent chapters review basics of fluid mechanics, hydraulics and typical pump and piping problems: absorption, leaching, liquid-liquid extraction, and the rest of the exam topics. Each of the topics is reviewed followed by examples of examination problems. This book is the ideal study guide bringing all elements of professional problem solving together in one BIG BOOK. The first truly practical, no-nonsense review for the difficult PE exam. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. Reader Reviews I took Chemical Engineering PE exam in April 2007 for the first time. I passed the exam. When I was solving the problems in the actual exam I knew what I was doing. I was confident that I will pass. The main reason was Chemical Engineering License Review. License review is written by chemical engineers. This book brushed up my chemical engineering knowledge. Review has addressed all areas in PE exam. But the best covered area is Chemical Reaction Engineering. There are lot of questions on reaction engineering (11%). Problem with kinetics is that we do not use it everyday like fluid dynamics or heat transfer. This book will bring you up to the speed for kinetics problems. Kinetics is the area which will make it or break it. Review was great help in plant design and operation section. I found this section very useful during actual examination. Heat transfer chapter has good review of shell and tube exchangers. Fluid dynamics chapter helped me in flow of fluids in pipes and pump calcs most. License review gives extensive coverage for mass transfer. Absorption and distillation are very important sections and this book prepared me well to solve those questions. Book had printing mistakes but these mistakes did not deter me from understanding the principles. There are other reference books/solved problems (Chemical Engineering Reference Manual, NCEES problems) available and they are useful too. While studying I kept this book as a main focus and used other reference material also. Study from more than one source is a must. If one starts early enough and balance fundamentals and problem solving properly then passing in the first attempt is not tough. PE exam tests experience and fundamentals. License Review will clear your fundamentals. It helped me during exam and I am going to keep it as a reference also. I did not have resort to option elimination. In most of the cases I got the answer and it matched with one of the option. Now I can say my answers were correct (atleast most of them!!!) because I passed the exam. Comment | | (Report this)
