General Technical Writing A Practical Guide for Engineers and Scientists Phillip A. Laplante The Pennsylvania State University, Malvern, USA

Written by a renowned engineer and widely published technical author, this guide enables readers to write, edit, and publish materials of a technical nature, including books, articles, reports, and electronic media. Complementing the traditional writer’s reference manuals and other books on technical writing, it helps readers understand the practical considerations in writing technical content. Drawing on his own work, the author presents many first-hand examples of writing, editing, and publishing technical materials.

These examples illustrate how a publication originated as well as various challenges and solutions.

Physical Chemistry for Engineering and Applied Sciences Frank R. Foulkes

Numerical Methods for Chemical Engineers Using Excel, VBA, and MATLAB Victor J. Law Tulane University, New Orleans, Louisiana, USA

Since many practical engineering problems must be solved numerically, this text provides instruction on using numerical methods and Excel®/VBA for chemical and biomolecular engineering problems, covering a broad range of application areas. It also includes an introduction to MATLAB® that is made easier to learn after studying the programming tools in previous chapters. Each chapter contains examples that show in detail how a particular numerical method or programming methodology can be implemented. The chapters also contain end-of-chapter exercises, with solutions provided.
