Engineering Chemistry

Knowledge of basic concepts of Chemistry for Engineering students will help them as professional engineers later in design and material selection, as well as utilizing the available resources.This book covers various topics on physical chemistry, organic chemistry, industrial chemistry and inorganic chemistry. To cover a variety of topics in a single book, that too for beginners, is a very difficult task. We have tried to present the subject matter very lucidly so that the students can grasp it easily. Some portions of the subject matter have been highlighted so that the students can understand the important and salient features of the topics.Reasons for corrosion and some methods of corrosion control would be understood. The students would be now aware of materials like nanomaterials and fullerenes and their uses. Similarly, liquid crystals and superconductors are understood.Water is a basic material in almost all the industries, more so where steam is generated and also where it is supplied for drinking purposes.
