He has also written: The School of Chemical Engineering at Cornell: A History of the First Fifty Years. Julian Smith was Professor Emeritus at the Department of Chemical Engineering, Cornell University. He is also the author of Elements of Chemical Engineering. McCabe was a professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering, North Carolina State University. The book places additional importance on Food Processing, Biotechnology, Diafiltration, Adsorption and Membrane Operations and is essential to all chemistry students.

In addition, it comes with an ample amount of questions and problems for the students to think upon, 30% of which have been revised in this current edition to be more in line with the latest developments in the field. The book takes a practical and theoretical treatment of the subject, showing students how the concepts are applied in real world scenarios. It covers Fluid Mechanics, Heat Transfer, Mass Transfer and Equilibrium Stages, and Operations including Particulate Solids. The book contains a vast collection of information pertaining to all areas of the field. "About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.Unit Operations of Chemical Engineering (7th edition) is an exhaustive handbook for students, academicians and practicing chemical engineers or scientists. Also available is a solutions manual (0-07-044845-0).

In addition, there is new material on membrane separations, flow measurement, dispersion operations, supercritical extraction, pressure-swing adsorption and sedimentation. In this fifth edition, SI units are given greater emphasis and some two-third of the end-of-chapter problems have been revised. There is also detailed treatment of solids-handling operations and solid-liquid separations.

As in previous editions, separate chapters are devoted to each of the four principle unit operations - fluid mechanics, heat transfer, equilibrium stages and mass transfer, and operations involving particulate solids - and includes coverage of adsorption, absorption and membrane separation. A revised edition of a text on unit operations of chemical engineering, this work contains updated and new material reflecting in part the broadening of the chemical engineering profession into new areas such as food processing, electronics and biochemical applications.
