Molecular Physical Chemistry for Engineers

I had a lot fun reading through this textbook. Its main assets are an excellent choice of topics, a logical sequence of chapters, and, in particular, a very patient and detailed introduction to the difficult concepts of quantum mechanics and statistical thermodynamics. Very importantly for engineering students, the authors end with a chapter on engineering applications.” –Peter G. Vekilov, University of Houston “In summary, the book is, overall, excellent.” –TCE Today, September 2008 “This book fits exactly my needs for a textbook in teaching our course specifically designed for Chem Engineering majors…I profoundly thank and congratulate the authors for putting this book together. It is greatly needed, will be widely used, and enormously appreciated.” –Professor D. Wayne Goodman, Texas A&M
