Chemistry for Chemical Engineers. This does not mean that we have written the book as a materials science text, but rather that the text is intended to prepare students for subsequent study in that area. The book also provides sufficient background in the science of chemistry for a technically educated professional. Engi neering, after all, is the creative and practical application of a broad array of scientific principles, so its practitioners should have a broad base in the natural sciences.
There are basically two models used to condense the general chemistry cur- riculum. The first is to take the approach of an "essentials" book and reduce the depth of coverage and the number of examples but retain nearly all of the traditional topics. T he second is to make more difficult and fundamental decisions as to what chemistry topics are proper and relevant to the audience- in this case, future engineers.
Thus departments or indi, idual instructors will need to make some further choices as to the content that is most.. We suspect that many instructors will not choose to in elude all of the material on equilibrium in Chapter 12, for example. Topic Coverage The coverage of topics in this text reflects the fact that chemists con- stantly use multiple concepts to understand their field, often u ing more than one model simultaneously.
Thus the study of chemistry we pres- ent here can be viewed from multiple perspectives: macroscopic, - croscopic, and symbolic. In Chapters 4 and 5, we establish more of the connection between micro copic and mac- roscopic in our treatment of stoichiometry and gases. The energetic aspects of chemistry, including important macroscopic consequences, are consid- ered in Chapters 9 and 10, and kinetics and equilibrium are treated in Chapters 11and12, respectively.
C hapter 13 deals with electrochemistry and corro- sion, an important chemistry application for many engineering disciplines. Finally, we conclude with a discussion of nuclear chemistry.
We've chosen to treat them in the following ways. Organic Chem istry: Organic chemistry is important in many areas of engineering, particularly as related to the properties of polymers. Rather than using a single or- ganic chapter, we integrate our organic chemistry coverage over the entire text, fo- cusing on polymers.
We introduce organic polymers in Section 2. Chapter 2 also contains a rich discussion of organic line structures and functional groups and ends with a section on the synthesis, structure, and properties of polyethylene. Chapter 4 opens and ends with discussions of fuels, a topic to which we return in Chapter 9.
Chapter 8 contains more on carbon and polymers, and the recycling of polymers provides the context for consideration of the second law of thermodynamics in Chapter Acid-Base Cheniistry: Acid-base reactions represent another important area of chemistry with applications in engineering, and again we have integrated our cover- age into appropriate areas of the text. Initially, we define acids and bases in conjunc- tion with the introduction to solutions in Chapter 3.
Simple solution stoichiometry is presented in Chapter 4. Finally, a more detailed treaanent of acid-base chemistry is presented in the context of equilibria in Chapter 12, and this section has been ex- panded significantly in this edition. Mathematics: The math skills of students entering engineering majors generally are stronger than those in the student body at large, and most of the students taking a course of the type for which this book is intended will be concurrently enrolled in an introductory ca lculus course.
In light of this, we include re ferences to the role of ca lculus where appropriate via our MathConnections boxes. These MathConnections essays expand and review math concepts as they pertain to the particular topic being studied, and appear wherever the links between the topic at hand and math- ematics seems especially strong.
These boxes are intended to be unobtrusive, so those students takin g a precalculus math course will not be adversely affected. The point of including calculus is not to raise the level of material being presented, but rather to show the natural connections between the various subjects students are studying.
Links between chemistry and engineering are central to the structure of the text. Each chapter be- gins and ends wi th a section ca ll ed llMld:ll, which introduces a template or theme showing the interplay between chemistry and en- gineering. These sections are only the beginning of the connections, and the theme introduced in the initial Insight appears regularly throughout that chapter.
We opt for currency in our engineering applications wherever possible, so throughout the book, we discuss recent key innovations in various fields. For example, Chapter 5 includes a discussion of hydraulic fracturing and natural gas recovery. In Chapter 7, we describe mesoporous silicon nanoparticles, a front-line research topic that may have important applications in biomedical engineering in the future.
Chapter 8 closes with a discussion of the fabrication of micro-electrical-mechanical systems MEMS. Accordingly, this text includes worked problems throughout. All of our Example Problems include a Strategy section Strategy immediately following the problem statement, in which we emphasize the concepts Analyze Your Answer and relationships that must be considered to work the problem. After the solution, Discussion we often include a section called Analyze Yotff Answer that is designed to help students Check Your Understanding learn to estimate whether or not the answer they have obtained is reasonable.
In many examples, we also include Discussion sections that he lp explain the importance of a problem solvi ng concept or point out common pitfalls to be avoided. Finally, each ex- ample closes with a Check Jour U11demn11di11g problem or question to help the student to generalize or extend what's been learned in the example problem. The end-of-chapter exercises include additional problems of thi narure so the Focus Problem oh wg can be fully incorporated into the course.
In addition to the chapter opening and closing sections, the template themes are woven throughout the chapter, frequently providing the context for points of discussion or example problems.
However, it is im portant to make a distinction here between problems and exercises. Exercises pro- vide a chance to practice a narrow skill, whereas problems require multiple steps and thinking outside the context of the information given.
These sec- tions, which appear at the end of every chapter, include a mix of quantitative and qualitative questions that focus on the p1'0cess of finding a solution to a problem, not the solution itself.
MathConnections In our experience, one trait that distinguishes engineering students from other genera l chemistry students is a higher level of comfort with mathematics.
Thus it seems natural to us to point out the mathematical underpinnings of several of the chemistry concepts pre- sented in the text because this should help students forge mental connections between their courses. At the same time, we recognize that a srudent taking a precalculus math course should not be precluded from taking chemistry.
To balance these concerns, we have placed any advanced mathematics into special MathCnectio11s sections, which are set off from the body of the text. Our hope is that those students familiar with the mathematics involved will benefit from seeing the origin of things such as integrated rate laws, whereas those students with a less extensive background in math will still be able to read the text and master the chemistry presented.
Every example closes with a Check Your Understanding exercise to allow stu- dents to practice or extend the skill they have just learned.
