Dr. Ashleigh Fletcher studied a first degree in Chemistry at the University of Durham (1997) before completing a PhD in adsorption science at the University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne (2000). After eight years of post-doctoral research in both chemistry and chemical engineering departments, with several
Chemistry for Chemical Engineers provides background in the topics of mass and energy balances, which are distinct to chemical engineering. The text provides full descriptions of chemical principles underpinning these areas, and addresses the other principle chemistry concepts encountered during chemical engineering studies; providing the tools to understand chemical reactions and relate them to the main themes of mass and energy balances.
