ENGINEERING CHEMISTRY

This book, now in its third edition, is revised and elaborated specifically to address the needs of the latest course curriculum in Engineering Chemistry for the first-year students of all branches of engineering. The topics covered in the book are customarily taught in several universities and institutes.

The book exposes students to fundamental knowledge in:

• Treatment of water, polymers and composites
• Applications of surface chemistry and the concept of nuclear energy and energy storage devices
• Chemical thermodynamics and nanochemistry
• Electrochemistry and principles involved in corrosion and its inhibition, and protective coatings
• Analysis of fuels and combustion, phase rule, important analytical techniques (spectroscopy) and photochemistry
• Manufacturing processes, properties and applications of glass and cement

Key Features

• Several worked-out examples to help students reinforce their comprehension of theory.
• Numerous short and descriptive questions at the end of each chapter to test and foster students’ conceptual understanding of the subject.
• Chapter-end problems to help students become proficient in problem-solving.
