It defines and where necessary disambiguates more than 10,000 terms and includes short discussions of the various meanings of the most contested terms. Written by a highly experienced practitioner and drawing on the input of over two hundred other chemical engineering practitioners, it represents the most complete, current consensus on the language of chemical engineering.
- Defines key words and phrases as used by professional chemical engineers
- Explains sector-specific differences in terminology
- Explores the complexity of key contested terms in a series of mini-essays
- References relevant codes and standards
The dictionary is primarily for chemical engineering practitioners, especially those early in their careers, and those working across different industries. Academics, graduates and practitioners switching sector or job related in chemical engineering disciplines will also find it useful.
