This book starts from the basic principles of mass transfer by molecular and eddy diffusion through the analysis of interfacial phenomena, theories of mass transfer at an interface with and without chemical reaction to the sizing of mass transfer equipment.

The poems in this book represent one of many commentaries on modern times. They are kaleidoscopic in the sense that they address various and different issues, the personal, the societal, the political, the moral, the religious, etc. Their perspective is Christian, even if controversial, broadminded and non parochial.

African leaders are busy selling their natural resources and transferring the proceeds abroad while their people are starving without any credible physical, social, cultural, educational, health or any infrastructure or process conducive to, or commensurate with, the endowment of the region. Africa needs a new and workable mindset with regard to its politics, its governance and it social organisation.This manifesto is an attempt to provide a model of a political party to be emulated in all current African countries, south of the Sahara to, truly, return them and the management of their affairs to their peoples.

This book aims to make available, to engineers and technologists, who wish to develop and/or design their own chemical engineering manufacturing processes, a straightforward, non-intimidating version of modern chemical engineering methods and analysis for chemical process design

This book starts from the fundamentals to the professional level academic, practical and industrial classification and understanding of the many types and mechanisms of chemical reactions before illustrating the generalised kinetics and stoichiometry which may be applied to them. Several typical and numerical problems are solved in chemical kinetics, stoichiometry, material and energy balances relevant to the chemical engineering aspects of chemical reactor design.

Every age believes it is more civilised than earlier ones. It abhors, as barbaric, the cruelties of preceding ages while, at the same time, justifying its own cruelties using its own fashionable logic. Abortion is currently justified, in modern Western civilisation, using reasoning that may have been similar to those used,in ancient civilisations, to carry out child sacrifice.

This book presents concepts, ideas and methods in convective heat transfer in easily understandable form. The book starts the reader from the fundamentals and progresses to the application of these to practical engineering problems and to interface with modern research, new ideas, products and processes.

Beginners in the subject find it difficult to keep up with the ever expanding technical literacy base taken for granted by experienced practitioners. This book presents fundamental knowledge in mass transfer in easily understandable form by explaining, in worked examples, basic mass transfer definitions and calculation procedures which form the building blocks of many sophisticated computer algorithms.

Growing up, in the 1960s Nigeria, was idyllic. Young Nigerians, who made the fashionable choice "to seek the golden fleece" by pursuing tertiary education in Europe, met with what they had not bargained for. In their late teens and armed only with a highly romanticised but dated English grammar school education and Christian manners, they discovered that Europe was not what they had been made to believe - racism, new moralities and a harsh technological culture they could not have imagined. Most of them went back to Nigeria, which had just ended a three year civil war, after their studies and sobering experiences, in the hope and belief that they would use what they learnerd in Europe to develop the country. The country they came back to, as adults, was a very different country from the one they left, as teenagers. This book is a poetic commentary on the experiences of one person before, during and after this sojourn in Europe.
