Each reference book provides clear explanations of theory and thorough coverage of practical applications, supported by case studies. A worldwide team of editors and contributors have pooled their experience in adding new content and revising the old. The authoritative style of the original volumes 1 to 3 has been retained, but the content has been brought up to date and altered to be more useful to practicing engineers. This complete reference to chemical engineering will support you throughout your career, as it covers every key chemical engineering topic.Coulson and Richardson’s Chemical Engineering: Volume 1A: Fluid Flow: Fundamentals and Applications, Seventh Edition, covers momentum transfer (fluid flow) which is one of the three main transport processes of interest to chemical engineers.

V. Shankar
V. Shankar is currently the Sajani Kumar Roy Chair Professor and Head, Department of Chemical
Engineering, IIT Kanpur. He obtained his B.Tech in Electrochemical Engineering from the Central
Electrochemical Research Institute, Karaikudi, and his Masters and PhD in Chemical Engineering
from the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore. After a post-doctoral stint at the University of
Minnesota, Minneapolis, he joined IIT Kanpur in 2002, where he currently leads a group working in
the general area of stability of fluid flows, with focus on fluids with complex rheology, and in flow
past deformable solid surfaces. His research group uses a combination of theory, computation and
experiments to understand and unravel new physical phenomena in such systems
