Chemical Engineering Books
(OP)
Dear everyone,
I am a chemical engineering professor and I am at present gathering list of required texts and recommended references for several chemical engineering courses such as the following:
1. ChE Thermodynamics
2. Reaction Kinetics
3. Biochemical Engineering
4. Physical Chemistry
5. Separation Processes
and many more.
Any suggestions?

Thanks to Ari and serendip. Some more inputs guys?
I am now in the stage of summarizing all my findings.
As of the moment, I have already created a site that will encompass or list all these books. The main page is at this URL:

I also found Levenspiels Chemical Recation Engineering particularly useful.

Some more? How about in the field of polymer science, analytical chemistry and waste management?
More bright ideas?
Sincerely,
