Hola Emmanuel ! I am also a chemical engineer who has graduated 18 years ago :) Thank you very much for your videos. I bought a few of your courses on petrochemicals and refining and now studying them. I appreciate how you fragment the information in short videos, it's easy to digest and understand. Also, I like how you prioritize, so eventually I was able to find my answers. Will let you know if by the end of those courses, some unanswered questions pop up. I was wondering whether you might create a new course in catalysis&catalysts? Muchas gracias :)
hey thanks! I really appreciate your comment! I am working in more process engineering projects/design courses for now, but I DO have some pending courses on reaction engineering and kinetics, but not coming soon :(
Excelente lista de libros, coincidimos casi en todos!! , quisiera recomendar "Chemical Process Equipment: selection and Design", Couper, "Process Systems Analysis and Control", Coughanowr y "Separation Process Engineering", Wankat.
When you read these books do you read them from beginning to end? I personally do so because I don't like skipping but it takes a lot of time for me. I am OK with taking along time reading a book but but sometimes I am worried that my progress is slow. Just to give an example it took me 8 months to read the entire principles of chemical engineering processes book.
It is truly a skill of a good engineer, being able to skip directly into sections of a book. As you stated, sometimes you may need to go back to understand and read some content.
I wanted to ask about chemical engineering portfolio . How important are they how do you create it and what kind of projects should you add on your porfolio for example Aspen plus and matlab projects?

Not quite relevevant, but of course, it could be something that differentiates you from other competetion, especially if you are going to work in process simulation or process control, may be even as a process engineer.
I'd like to get experience in oil&gas processing for downstream. For example how the units work, what are the crucial paramethers etc, how to design a processes.
Could be... Maybe going Environmental Energies could be a better bet, i.e. you could go to solar, wind, electricity generation, hydrogen economy etc... Hydrogen by itself could be small niche
Overall, yeah I think it is ok... and yeah, I think it could be hard to get started in Dow, it really depends on the position you are applying and your profile
@@ChemicalEngineeringGuy thank you. I just heard that petrochemical market is in struggle because China started to build their own chemical facilities, china is changing from big customer to the chemical manufacturer.
- Rules of thumbs for chemical engineers - All Books from Norman Lieberman - Problem Solving for process operators and specialists from Joseph Bonem (a gem) - Process Design for chemical engineers from Franck Yu (former Senior Process Engineer at Jacobs Engineering) - Book on combustion from John Zink - Books on rotating machinery from Heinz Bloch or Robert X. Perez - And many more on commissioning, boilers, other equipment or Utilities and specific process industries These books are way more useful as the main fundamental concepts are explained in a more practical and useful way
While Smith and Van Ness is a good che. Thermodynamics book, I think the book by Noel .D. Nevers, physical and chemical equilibrium is better in terms of ease.
For sure, if you want a focus in chemical and physical equilibrium, thats a good book. What I like is the wys they transition from theory to Unit Operations. If you have the time, for sure get both of them
that really depends a lot on the region you are working, and of course on your needs! Most of my colleagues will tell you that it is 100% recommended... as they got into great jobs that are (or not) ChemE related

Looking forward!
A great selection of books for ChemEs! Great video 🙌
Thanks for the support Jup! What's is your fav book?
@@ChemicalEngineeringGuy for cheme, it has to be your E-book my friend 😅

Que bueno verte de nuevo Luis! un abrazo! que buena recomendacion la de Wankat, muy bueno tmb! Revisare el de Coughanowr!
Thankyou,as a Chem engg ,i appreciate your work ,Sir
thanks for commenting, I really appreciate it!
as student who's currently working on pre plant design, this video is really helpfull. thank you sir!
great! I'll be preparing some book review for that topic soon!

Great overview, Sir. Thank you for your dedication.
Thanks my friend ;)
Hi i want to become one but im not sure if im gonna like it which book should i read to learn
Maybe academic books woild be better fit for you (getting started)
Is there any textbook or online course that can help when you want to do process design or simulation using MATLAB?
Sure, there are Yellow Books on that specific topic!

@@ChemicalEngineeringGuy ok thank you
Hi. What boosk would you recomend for oil&gas industry ?
depends on what is your main focus... is it machinery? is it products? and of course, are you in downstream or upstream?=
I'd like to get experience in oil&gas processing for downstream. For example how the units work, what are the crucial paramethers etc, how to design a processes.
Hello
Is this good choice to do master's in Hydrogen technology?

Hey,
Is Dow chemical a good company? Hard to get into?
Overall, yeah I think it is ok... and yeah, I think it could be hard to get started in Dow, it really depends on the position you are applying and your profile
@@ChemicalEngineeringGuy thank you.

Must have books for newbies, academics or students for sure. But not for experienced engineers at all!
True, this is mostly for academics! I'm working on the books & handbooks for professionals... any specific listing you'll like to see?
- Rules of thumbs for chemical engineers
- All Books from Norman Lieberman
- Problem Solving for process operators and specialists from Joseph Bonem (a gem)
- Process Design for chemical engineers from Franck Yu (former Senior Process Engineer at Jacobs Engineering)

@@lionels839 im considering 2-3 books from norman lieberman! Rules of thumbs is also in the list! Im just working in the edition of the vid!
@@lionels839 I'll check out the combustion and rotating machinery books, Im not quite familiar with those
@@lionels839 thanks for your input ;)

I have most books here, I wanna be a very good chemical engineer so I need a mentor ❤
great! it also depends on your role in the company, but generally speaking, these are great for Process Engineers
could u pls recommend some books for someone with a chemE background but working in pharma/biotech 😊
Are you using bioreactors?
@@ChemicalEngineeringGuy no, currently working with colloids for high concentration suspension
HI SIR NOWADAYS CE IS WORTH OR NOT SIR PLEASE TELL SIR
that really depends a lot on the region you are working, and of course on your needs! Most of my colleagues will tell you that it is 100% recommended... as they got into great jobs that are (or not) ChemE related
Richardson and coulson ??
Indeed a good book for general applications, way deeper than Unit Operations Book
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it xD
Thanks
Good 🎉
Thanks! Any suggestion?
