Process Calculations -Himmelblau and GATE subjective questions of 1990-2000.

Thermodynamics- K.V.Narayanan (supplemented byNPTEL Prof S.K.Som IIT Kharagpur;
selected lecture which is in the syllabus of chemical Engg).(Though in my opinio
n Smith J.M., Van Ness H.C. and Abbott M.M., is a better book for Thermodynamics.)
Fluid mechanics- NPTEL Dr. V. Shankar IIT Kanpur(supplemented by Cengel, Cimbala
and Fox, McDonald s )
Mechanical Operation-Mccabe, Smith and Harriott (supplemented by Narayanan C.M.
and Bhattacharya B.C )
Heat transfer- Binay.K.Dutta
Mass transfer- Geankoplis, NPTELProf. Nishith Verma IIT Kanpur (supplemented by
Treybal)
Transport phenomena-NPTEL Prof V.Kumarnan IISC Bangalore (first 9 lecture is mos
t important)
