3.1. Assael M.J. and Magilliotou M., "Introduction to Unit Operations", Aristotle University Publications (1988) - 183 pages, in Greek.

The book examines methods for the preliminary calculation of distillation columns, absorption towers, extraction columns and cooling towers. It guides the reader from first principles to the modern calculation methods. The book is written at an introductory level enriched with many examples and does not require a deep knowledge of thermodynamics.
The book is aimed primarily at the student market (chemical and mechanical engineering students) but it will also be useful for those engaged in design of chemical plants.

3.2. Assael M.J., Trusler J.M.P. and Tsolakis Th.F., "Thermophysical Properties of Fluids. An Introduction to their Prediction", Imperial College Press (1996) - 372 pages.

This book is concerned with the prediction of thermodynamic and transport properties of gases and liquids. The book aims to present the best of those modern methods which are capable of practical application. It begins with basic scientific principles and formal results which are subsequently developed into practical methods of prediction. Numerous examples, supported by a suite of computer programmes, illustrate applications of the methods. The book is aimed primarily at the student market (for both undergraduate and taught postgraduate courses) but it will also be useful for those engaged in research and for chemical and process engineering professionals. New Edition on the way.

3.5. Assael M.J. and Kakosimos K.E., "Risk Assessment: A Handbook for the Calculation of Consequences from Fires, Explosions and Toxic Gases Dispersion", A. Tziola E. (2007) - 380 pages, in Greek.

The book examines methods for the calculation of consequences from fires, explosions and toxic gases dispersion. Starting from the examination of the probability of a release, it proceeds to its calculation and consequently the calculation of the thermal radiation of fires, the pressure wave of explosions, and the pollutant concentration in dispersions. Effects on humans and material are also included. The book is aimed at the student market but it will also be very useful for those engaged in risk assessment evaluations.

3.9. Eds. Assael M.J. , Goodwin A.R.H., Vesovic V., Wakeham W.A., "Experimental Thermodynamics Vol. IX.: Advances in Transport Properties", RSC Press (2014) - 408 pages.

Published under the auspices of both IUPAC and the International Association for Transport Properties (IATP) this book describes the advances both in measurement techniques and the application of theory to the prediction and correlation of transport properties. The practical use of some theories to predict the values of transport properties of industrially relevant fluids is also discussed. The book provides a state-of-the-art reference text that discusses the growing importance of the field. An international team of distinguished experts was assembled to provide authoritative chapters on all research areas that have witnessed recent major developments. This reference text will serve as a source book for researchers and practitioners in the field of transport properties of fluids whether in academia or industry. The topics covered are of relevance to chemical, mechanical and petroleum engineers and to chemists and physicist.
