About The Book: "A Handbook of Chemical Engineering" by George E. Davis is a foundational two-volume work that systematically outlines the principles and practices of chemical engineering. Volume I covers general engineering principles, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, evaporation, and distillation. Volume II focuses on specific operations such as crystallization, filtration, absorption, and chemical reactors. Davis combines theoretical insights with practical examples, offering detailed illustrations and operational data to guide industrial application. His work laid the groundwork for modern chemical engineering by defining unit operations and emphasizing process design, making it a landmark reference for both academic study and professional practice in the field. About The Author: George Edward Davis (1850–1907), recognized as the father of chemical engineering, revolutionized industrial chemistry by identifying common principles across chemical factories. His seminal A Handbook of Chemical Engineering (1904, 2nd ed., 2 vols.) laid the foundation for the discipline, introducing key unit operations and process design methods. His 1888 lecture series at Manchester Technical School defined the scope of chemical engineering, influencing academic programs—especially in the U.S., where his ideas spurred innovation and formal education in the field. Though some criticized his work as basic industrial know-how, Davis’s contributions shaped modern chemical engineering and its academic and industrial development worldwide.
