This textbook introduces new chemical engineering students to the key subjects taught in most undergraduate Chemical Engineering degrees: Process Engineering Fundamentals, Chemical Thermodynamics, Process Fluid Flow, Process Heat Transfer, and Chemical Reaction Engineering. Rather than providing total coverage of all these topics, it explains the material in an accessible way for students new to the subject, allowing them to understand why these topics are important and to prepare them for more advanced courses they will encounter later.

• Each chapter begins with learning goals and includes brief examples showing real-world application of the topic.
• Supplies worked examples throughout.
• Provides further tutorial problems as an online resource.
• Offers derivations for key equations to ensure students have a grounded understanding of all topics.
• Provides suggested reading for readers looking to delve deeper into the key subjects covered.

Written for students embarking on their Chemical Engineering degree, this textbook explains core chemical engineering topics in an approachable way, covering basic theory through applications and aims to help students gain valuable insight into their chosen field. Theories and equations are derived from first principles to support full understanding. Further tutorial questions and solutions are available online. The book also offers flexible syllabi: readers can follow the book one subject at a time or can follow a weekly plan for undertaking all subjects concurrently.
