Unit Operations of Chemical Engineering was first published in 1956 and is one of the oldest chemical engineering textbooks still in widespread use. The current Seventh Edition, published in 2004, continues its successful tradition of being used as a textbook in university undergraduate chemical engineering courses. It is widely used in colleges and universities throughout the world, and often referred just "McCabe-Smith-Harriott" or "McC-S-H".

## Subjects covered in the book[edit]

The book starts with an introductory chapter devoted to definitions and principles. It then follows with 28 additional chapters, each covering a principle chemical engineering unit operation. The 28 chapters are grouped into four major sections:

* Fluid mechanics
* Heat transfer
* Mass transfer and equilibrium stages
* Operations involving particulate solids.
