After obtaining his Ph.D., John Carroll worked at the University of Alberta as a Research Associate and a Sessional Lecturer, teaching heat transfer and numerical analysis. He also worked on several research projects, resulting in many papers and conference presentations. Much of this work has been incorporated into AQUAlibrium. Dr. Carroll is the author or co-author of about 30 papers in refereed journals, nine articles in technical magazines, and approximately 25 conference presentations. He has a special interest in the application of Henry's Law. A series of papers, culminating in the recent publication of "Henry's law - Revisited" (Jan. 1999), have appeared in Chemical Engineering Progress. Other papers on Henry's Law have appeared in other publications as well. Following his term with the U. of A., he worked for Honeywell Hi-Spec Solutions (formerly SACDA) in London, Ontario. At Honeywell, he worked to develop a new thermodynamics and physical properties calculation package for their simulation software. He was the Team Leader of a group of dedicated thermodynamicists.
?I have often thought that many technical books are written for the academic, and not for the practicing engineer. This book looks like the type that would be out on the engineers desk most of the time, rather than stuffed back in some cabinet.?
?Good mix of basic theory and application? ?Practical for
everyday use.? Bruce Roberts
Chief Reservoir Engineer, Shell Canada
?Carroll uses a very practical approach that is useful for
conveying concepts that are useful in resolving real-life problems
with hydrates.? ?I've made use of the software (spreadsheets) that
came with the 1st Edition. Very useful.? ?Carroll cites other books
as competition. I got lucky and bought Carroll's and haven't needed
any other, so I haven't looked at them.? ?I have used it to resolve
real problems that I might not have been able to handle as well
with other approaches. I guarantee that you will not find a useful
treatment of hydrates that includes how to calculate pipeline heat
loss other than in Carroll's book. I used that in handling a
problem in Australia.? Fred W. Shoemaker
Principal Engineer, Operating Plants Technical Support
