Unit Operations of Chemical Engineering

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".
