Crash course(s) in Chemical Engineering
(OP)
Hello to All!
I am looking for textbooks, short courses, or other means to learn the fundamentals of Chemical Engineering [without going back to University].
As a mechanical engineer, I have found my niche to be fluid mechanics, thermo, and heat transfer. However, I often need to push the limits of traditional coverage of the topics listed above. As such, I am looking for those fundamental textbooks, and hand books that can get me up to speed with the Chemical Engineering fundamentals.
If you have any suggestions, please advise. Thank you very much!

Perry's has lots of information in it, but it is almost impossible to use just Perry's to solve chemical engineering problems.

That said, I don't think that there is a crash course that will ever give you the same academic training in reaction theory, unit operations and so forth that would enable you to be a true "chemical engineer" in any shorter time frame than the extra couple of years in university. I know a couple of people that have made the migration from one field to the other (one in each direction), but it's not an easy transition in either direction.
