Books All Chemical Engineers Should Have

[@Lemurai]

I quit my job after the first 4 yrs, a lot of the jobs available where short term contractor jobs that while paying well, they didn’t last long. I eventually went back to school for nursing then moved on to an anesthesia doctorate program (nurse anesthetist) the only reason I got in that program was due to my ChemE degree, by far it was the hardest thing I’ve ever done BUT the pay & job security is much better. People/companies take Engineers for granted until everything breaks or solutions need to be found for new problems that the self proclaimed geniuses that run things create. But I had enough engineering and the people/politics, I just flat out cold Turkey quit & walked off the job but I still love it in the way that it teaches people to think, my pet peeve was the lack of common sense in the STEM world. Logic cannot replace that.

[@shawn.builds]

I'm gonna check out Thinking in Systems and Think Inside the Box. Thanks for the recommendations!

[@EggsEngineering]

Awesome! Hope you enjoy them!

[@shanu6478]

I have read two books by Yunus a çengel on FLUID MECHANICS and Heat Transfer. His books are really good for the fundamentals as well

[@EggsEngineering]

I'll have to look into that, thanks for the recommendation!

[@nataliamontelongo2781]

I used the thermodynamics and heat transfer of cengel, really cool doesn't make things hard to understand

[@frihahanane8531]

I agree with you ,çingel's book are very useful and help to understand problems and phenomena fondamentale.

[@dianasyahiraazwan4949]

You really made me find my way back to why I initially chose chemical engineering. Here I am rummaging on my bookshelf for the OG Elementary Principles of Chem Eng. When you suggested the two books on the business part, I realised I have read both the books and I still have them now. Something just clicked right away. I am attending an iv for a Manufacturing Process Engineer role next week, thank you your videos really helped me get back to my senses.

[@ProfChemeng3]

Then there is the Basic principles of chemical engineering

[@BronzeAgeMan1350]

I agree with the catalogue part, I've learnt a lot from company catalogues! No doubt

[@EggsEngineering]

Haha yeah they're fun too

[@andresito9933]

Elements of chemical reaction engineering by Fogler is also a mandatory book in chemical engineering, especially when it comes to design reactors.

[@winniez99]

could u pls recommend some books for someone with a chemE background but working in pharma/biotech 😊

[@josueismaelmaldonadocastil9298]

Nice vídeo, I'd like to start with this career and these kind of videos are very helpful. I'm grateful to you for presenting this content.

[@EggsEngineering]

Happy to hear that! Thanks for watching 😊

[@mohammedzubairkhan5502]

Really great video ❤️ Could you make a detailed video on process control engineering and its future scope in the field of chemical engineering. Thanks in advance 😀

[@EggsEngineering]

Thanks, great idea!

[@josephclark5414]

Fantastic work! I will check your other video’s. Thank you brother!!!

[@sydneylam19]

Hi Eggs, what are some renowned journals that Chemical Engineers always refer to (e.g. something like NEJM and The Lancet in Medicine)? Also, where can I read more about production of antibiotics and other drugs from a Chemical Engineer's perspective? Thank you!

[@EggsEngineering]

Chemical engineers can get into different topics and there is no single chemical engineering journal to rule them all, best one depends on the focus. In general the various Natural journals are the highest ranking. Then there's ACS, Nano, and Chem. You can find top journals based on SJR rank. If you want to study drugs, I always dig into new topics with free online classes from MIT Opencourseware, maybe check that out to start. Chemical engineers mostly focus on the production of drugs, so focus your research on the manufacturing of drugs and that will all be from a chemE perspective.

[@chinese-translator-angieway]

Thank you sir!

[@AnkitGupta-mo7lc]

Hey! Just wanted to know about the possibilities of Masters in ChemE. Getting my Bachelor's in 2022 and applying to colleges in the US, EU and East Asia. So I'm kinda stumped about the masters I should do. Could you perhaps give any insight?

[@EggsEngineering]

I think that I mentioned this in my FAQ video. My advice is to look for something general that could be applied widely. Find a school that is well connected to large companies so that you can get an internship.

[@sadahahmed4536]

like your videos buddy. so informative. I would appreciate it though if you can about Data science and its application in the chemical engineering field

[@EggsEngineering]

Thanks! Yeah I have been meaning to put up a video about data science applications in chemical engineering. Most chemical plants have more than enough data to implement all of the methods used in modern data science.

[@maiaallman4635]

Very good idea.

[@Marcosguimaraesdias]

which kind of technical books you would recommend to cryogenic engineering?

[@zharrenjirehjames2221]

Subscribed Thank you for this 🥰

[@BronzeAgeMan1350]

I have chemical engineering apps on my smartphone! These are amazing!

[@arshad0922]

great! you may share with us!

[@EggsEngineering]

Yeah, I'm curious!

[@hanjin_san9603]

That's good!! What app is that?

[@UliSwag]

What are the apps

[@jenfinch2190]

Love the quote .

[@EggsEngineering]

Haha, fun stuff.

[@jenfinch2190]

Another wonderful video. You’re awesome.

[@EggsEngineering]

Thanks!

[@fayyazanzar8210]

Im gonna start chemE in september so I wanted to ask if learning python or VBA now will help me during the chemE course?

[@rosagonzalezlara6941]

Yes!!!

[@UliSwag]

Yeah

[@chipkupani2657]

Thanks for this video sir

[@angelineaquino5697]

Speaking of Books..... During undergrad, we took an oath to not get married until we finished reading Perry's Chemical Engineers Handbook 😅🤣🤣

[@andyiswonderful]

Not THAT ten pound sleeping pill.

[@maiaallman4635]

Bwahahaha😂

[@ellery4128]

lol funny but cool!

[@Antyo_Stark]

Can u list all the book he rekomen.

[@hichames-soufi5572]

Fantastic!!!

[@gearsfiction]

can someone recommend a book in separation process

[@sanehkumar2967]

Hey there i m chemical engineer graduate. Will you let me know that....is chemical engineers are in demand in Canada.

[@EggsEngineering]

Chemical engineering is still pretty in-demand in the USA where I'm from, and the Canadian economy is usually a reflection of the US economy. Check out my video talking about the most in-demand industries for 2021. Also check out Shawn's KZbin channel, he's a chemical engineer from Canada!

[@prathamshetty1116]

I am in first year student in chemical engineering. Can read these books???

[@EggsEngineering]

You shouldn't have any trouble with Elementary Principles of Chemical Processes, start there and work your way up!

[@prathamshetty1116]

@@EggsEngineering okk thanks😊

[@justlemonade4780]

I’ve read How to Win Friends and Influence People! Great book!

[@EggsEngineering]

It’s a classic!!

[@deepeshpatil2167]

hey which book will you suggest to know how the manufacturing of various chemicals is done at the industrial level. kinda short chapter explaining the processes with illustrations. edit-pls help

Eggs! I love your videos. I’m an avid listener of Freakanomics, and I was wondering which podcasts you might have had in mind that you’d recommend for chemE. Thanks!

[@EggsEngineering]

Similar to Freakanomics, I really like 99% Invisible, Planet Money, Science VS, and Radiolab. In terms of topics specific to ChemE, I think that the AIChE's Doing a World of Good and C&EN's Stereo Chemistry podcasts are well produced and of similar quality.

[@_new_guy]

@@EggsEngineering I’m a fan of Planet Money and Stereo Chemistry, thanks for the recommendations!

[@_new_guy]

@@EggsEngineering If an insightful yet easy listen about science history sounds interesting to you, I’d recommend the Distillations podcast. Great for “fun facts” to bring up regarding the overlap of history and science. Cheers!

[@EggsEngineering]

@@_new_guy thanks for the recommendation! Yeah I prefer the story-telling style podcasts. Hardcore History is another bomb history podcast. Listened to every episode in like a week.

[@andyiswonderful]

Although not a key fundamental text, I have you ever read Hermann Schlicting's "Boundary Layer Theory"? It was very satisfying.

[@majoradil657]

helloWorld I'm a jobless Process Engineer xD ! thank you Eggs for the video, it's very useful ^^
