The book provides a comprehensive overview of fluid flow and heat exchange, encompassing various fluid dynamics scenarios such as packed and fluidized beds. It delves into the equations governing heat transfer, highlighting the complexities involved in transferring heat efficiently between different streams and locations. This detailed examination serves as a valuable resource for understanding the principles and challenges associated with fluid mechanics and thermal management.

An introduction and review of the basic concepts of thermodynamics. The work is written in a colloquial style, provides qualitative problems designed to give readers a more intuitive understanding of the subject, and includes examples and practical applications from a number of diverse fields.

The Omnibook aims to present the main ideas of reactor design in a simple and direct way. it includes key formulas, brief explanations, practice exercises, problems from experience and it skims over the field touching on all sorts of reaction systems. Most important of all it tries to show the reader how to approach the problems of reactor design and what questions to ask. In effect it tries to show that a common strategy threads its way through all reactor problems, a strategy which involves three identifying the flow patter, knowing the kinetics, and developing the proper performance equation. It is this common strategy which is the heart of Chemical Reaction Engineering and identifies it as a distinct field of study.
