What the section holds
The chemical discipline section. Chemical reaction engineering, mass transfer including distillation and absorption, the momentum and heat and mass-transfer analogy, solids handling, solids processing, and cost estimation.
Why it matters for your exam
This is the discipline-specific section for Chemical candidates. Everything else on the chemical specification, from thermodynamics to safety, is served by the general sections earlier in the book.
How to navigate it
Chemical candidates need both this section and the general thermodynamics and heat transfer sections, and the material genuinely is split. Mass and energy balance questions are answered from thermodynamics; separation and reactor questions from here.

Disciplines that use this section
Page numbers here are read from handbook version 10.5 (seventh printing, April 2025), which runs to 502 pages. NCEES revises the handbook and page numbers move with it, which is why the drill asks which section a topic lives in rather than which page.
