I want to go to the Department of Chemical Engineering of Xiamen University for postgraduate study. Which is more difficult, physical chemistry or chemical engineering principles? Do you need to prepare those books? Are there any papers in recent years? The following is my personal understanding:

As far as the exam is concerned, the principle of chemical engineering is more difficult than physical chemistry.

If you take the postgraduate entrance examination, physical chemistry and chemical engineering principles are professional courses for chemical engineering majors, and the schools that apply for the exam will give their own questions, so we can't generalize here.

I'll just give you one example:

Take the chemical industry of HKUST as an example. Physical chemistry is just a few big questions, all of which are calculation types, and the questions are very fixed. There are two questions in each chapter (there may be two questions in key chapters). As long as you do the real questions for a few more years, you will have the goal and focus of review. As for the principle of chemical engineering, the questions are complete (selection, filling in the blanks, calculation, etc. ), and knowledge points are widely distributed. The calculation problem is very typical. If the understanding of knowledge is not thorough enough, it is easy to be confused and lose judgment, so it is natural to review it thoroughly.

So as far as the exam is concerned, the principle of chemical engineering is more difficult than physical chemistry. (Supplement: Physical chemistry is more abstract in knowledge content, while chemical engineering principles are practical, concrete and easy to understand, so physical chemistry is more profound. ) prepared physics book: a guide to solving problems in physical chemistry Sun Dekun, Shen, Yao Tianyang Jiangsu Education Publishing House1998 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Too old (pass).

Guide to Physical Chemistry Learning and Postgraduate Entrance Examination, edited by Shen, Science Press, 2007.

Physical Chemistry Learning Guide is recommended by Sun Dekun, Yao Tianyang and Shen Higher Education Press in 2007. It is more formal.

No matter whether you study this course or review for the postgraduate entrance examination, if you can finish the after-class questions of NTU several times, you will definitely learn this course well and do well in the postgraduate entrance examination. No matter what you take, the questions after class are not easy for you to understand. I have a deep understanding.
