Unit operations

What Hacker News says

   As a chemical engineer (many of these go beyond the undergraduate level):

   1) The principles of chemical equilibrium, by Kenneth George Denbigh 2) Mass Transfer by Sherwood 3) Process Dynamics, Modeling, and Control by Babatunde Ogunnaike and W. Harmon Ray 4) Chemical Process Industries by Shreeves 5) An Introduction to Numerical Methods and Analysis by James F. Epperson 6) Optimization: Theory and Practice by Gordon S.G. Beveridge and Robert S. Schechter 7) Unit Operations by Maccabe and Smith 8) Advanced transport phenomena by John Charles Slattery

   Admittedly these are not the best known of books (eg. Sherwoods Mass Transfer is almost out of print, in favor of Treybal) but I these are my favorites.

   The Object Lessons book series, of which this excerpt is part, is stunning. It's edited by Ian Bogost (a philosopher and video game designer, of Cow Clicker, "Unit Operations: An Approach to Videogame Criticism", and pressure washer[1] fame), and every single volume is delightful. Highly recommended!

   My favorites are "Cigarette Lighter" and "Dust", but most everyone will find one that resonates most with them. People on Hacker News are likely to enjoy "Password", released today!
