30 Authors and Their Groundbreaking Chemical Engineering Books

The literature of chemical engineering has defined the discipline, with an impact as powerful as any of the profession’s engineering accomplishments. The authors of these books have created a major part of the heritage and shared experience of all chemical engineers.

In 2008, AIChE’s Centennial Celebration Committee identified a selection of authors who have given these important chemical engineering books to the profession.
