Humble Oil and Refining Company

I wish to thank Drs. J. L. Franklin and F. H. Field of the Humble Oil and Refining Company, and Dr. R. B. Mesrobian for letting me see, and make use of, their work before publication and Dr. D. C. Pepper for his helpful criticism of this work. 

In the last analysis, the choice of topics has been dictated by my own taste and experience as well as by the needs of many hundreds of chemists and chemical engineers on the campuses of Princeton, Berkeley and Stanford to whom a course now crystallized in this book has been presented over the past eight years at the undergraduate and graduate level. The material has also been tried in accelerated courses of one or two weeks at Humble Oil and Refining Company, Esso Research and Engineering Company and The Chemstrand Corporation.
