Excerpt from Industrial Chemistry: For Engineering Students
The purpose of this text is to describe from the standpoint of chemistry, the more common materials used in the various branches of engineering. Emphasis is accordingly laid upon the occurrence, the mode of manufacture, the properties, and, to a limited extent, the uses of the various materials. The text is an elaboration of the author's lecture notes used during the last eight years in the courses of industrial chemistry for second year engineering students. The compilations of data have been taken from various sources, many of which are indicated in the footnotes.
The work presupposes a knowledge of elementary physics and general chemistry. By a selection of suitable subject matter, it is hoped to give the prospective engineer a working knowledge of the chemistry of the materials and processes with which he will deal and the ability necessary to interpret chemical analyses and apply them in the preparation of specifications and in the pursuit of experimental research which now so frequently accompanies the solution of engineering problems. The topics of greatest interest and importance to engineers, such as fuels and combustion, clay products and cement, are treated quite fully; other topics arc necessarily dealt with more briefly than in the larger text-books but in all cases the bibliographies at the ends of the chapters will guide the reader who desires to go farther. These bibliographies have been compiled with care and brought closely down to date; it is believed that they will be useful to practicing chemists and engineers as well as to students.
