Great text should have ordered before my PE exam
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This is a great text on chemical reaction kinetics and I wish I would have had it before I took my PE exam. I am still waiting on results, I am confident I passed but struggled with 4-5 kinetics questions that this text would have been very helpful on. Even though I dont do reaction kinetics in my day to day job its a great technical reference.
A ChemE classic
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
We used this book in the Chemical Engineering department at Tennessee Tech. "Uncle Octave" (I'm still trying to prove that we're related) has an excellent book here, and I commend any university who selects this book for their kinetics class. If you didn't 'get' kinetics, maybe you should try his text.
Best CHE book I've ever read

We didn't use this book at the University of Texas. Even so, it was worth every minute I spent reading it instead of our textbook. It's just that much better than anything else in the curriculum.
Useful to Student and Practicing Engineer
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
As a student, I found the material difficult and challenging. Later, as a professional, I referred to this book often when faced with tough reactor calculations and difficult kinetic question. Dr. Levenspiel explains everything very well in his examples; the problem sets were nightmarish, but, then, our professor was awful. All in all, the book is highly useful to student and professional alike. I wish that I had had a good instructor, I would have developed a better appreciation the material as a student. Definitely a book for any chemical engineer's library.
A Classic. Complete, Readable. Not Sugar-Coated.

My focus in using this book was to characterize a very complex heterogeneous (fluid-particle) system. Couldn't have done it without old Octave. Thanks, man, I feel I know you.
