Elementary Principles of Chemical Processes was the book used in my first ChemE major class. It discusses a lot of the big ideas in chem e without getting too specific. You can find the international edition for around 10 dollars online.
There's a book ("Espresso coffee. The science of quality") written by Andrea Illy and Rinantonio Viani. You'll find very interesting details there. Available at Amazon
Found a "loose leaf" version of this textbook for 1/5th the price, also on Amazon: here. Also, if you search for fluid mechanics - there are more than a dozen titles. Makes me wonder why did it have to be the $950 version vs all others. What is it - more fluid? Or such mechanics? Wow
There are a few injection molding guides on Amazon. Here’s one that I found. Search on Amazon and other used book sites. I bet you can find something for $30.
This book only covers chemicals and chemical reactions in fluids.
https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/book/10.1002/0471725137
This book has fluids, gases, viscosity, diffusion, turbulence, heat transfer in fluids, radiation heat transfer, but only a very short mention of chemical reactions.

Strategic Applications of Named Reactions in Organic Synthesis https://www.amazon.com/dp/0124297854/ref=cm_sw_r_awdo_navT_a_FQ8H0YN2Q3T918EX3NMA
One of my favorite books for synthesis! Provides 1page of details & mechanism and one page of uses in total syntheses/literature examples (along with citation) for a bunch of named reactions. A great resource to have and very fun book to flip through & go down rabbit holes of “oh wow i wonder how they made that…checks citation”

I have some basic questions. 1. At what level do you plan to include the reactions? Sophomore organic? Advanced undergraduate? Graduate? 2. Why do you want more reactions that are named after people? Are you connecting the chemistry with the historical period? 3. Mechanistically, many named reactions are similar to "unnamed" reactions. For example, the Claisen condensation is named after a person, but the very similar Aldol condensation is not. 4. A good resource for named reactions is Strategic Applications of Named Reactions in Organic Synthesis https://www.amazon.com/Strategic-Applications-Reactions-Organic-Synthesis/dp/0124297854
Rob Hoos' Modulating the Flavor of Coffee is one I'd recommend. Willem Boot has some free stuff that has been invaluable, though modern wisdom goes against some of his advice. Tim Wendelboe has a few videos out there that I've found worth revisiting.
I'd actually advise to stay away from Rao stuff at least at first. He has some good info, but he also teaches some hocus-pocus stuff as "Commandments." If he said something to the effect of "when you're starting out, here's some general rules you should try to follow" I'd be all for it, but instead he teaches them as Absolute Truths and they simply are wrong in that context. It may be that the spirit of his advice is right for newbies, but the way he delivers it is definitely all wrong. He's the reason so many people think they can look at a profile and have some idea what a coffee tastes like (they can't, profiles are useful relative to other profiles on the same equipment, period).
If you're really into the chemistry and science of coffee, Illy's book is probably the most comprehensive piece of modern literature on the subject. It's pretty freaking dense though.
You will always continue learning in this field. As another poster mentioned, this field is huge and near impossible to conquer all of the different facets that come along with it. College gives you some basic knowledge and skill sets to continue learning. No one expects you to have all of the answers today.
For a great overview of the major different processes in a refinery, I highly recommend Petroleum Refining in Nontechnical Language by Leffler which gives an overview of common subunits and how they fit together in the O&G field. Also take the time to understand basic unit ops. If possible, try to understand why they are arranged as they are (no text recommendation here, but there is a lot of into online if you search for specific operations) and the book I linked above walks through some of this. After that, take the time to understand controls from an operations perspective and to be able to know what will happen to your unit if things change in the process. This understanding will be vastly different from what you were taught in school which focuses on the theory and not the practical aspect. Once you understand the function of controls, start to ask yourself what would cause a change in the process from steady state and walk yourself through the effects on downstream (and upstream) equipment and controls.
I have been in O&G (designing units, but I deal with start ups and understanding how to operate what I design and thinking through the potential effects of a bad design) for 2 years now. I worked on mastering what I outlined above and have now started picking up my college textbooks to review some concepts that I would like to develop my knowledge of. So once you get a grasp of the big picture, you can start looking into the finer details that you are rusty on or would like to understand better.
while its not specific to automotive engines I work in the engine industry and "Heywood" is considered to be a good book to start with
https://www.amazon.com/Internal-Combustion-Engine-Fundamentals-Heywood/dp/007028637X
After that youll start to narrow your field into something more specific - emissions, performance, etc... its too broad of a field to be covered by one book in any detail.
Organic chemists in general love name dropping named reactions (pun intended). I second the Kurti book mentioned above. It’s basically just a list of named reactions along with brief summary and relevant sources:
Do yourself a favor and read up. Here’s a link to a standard foundational text to educate yourself. Go learn how to do an energy balance.

You should stop putting heat transport in quotation marks, you’re making yourself look silly.
One, I'm not attacking anyone and particularly not the youngsters. I'm trying to speed their progress. I provided plenty of directions on what they should be reading. Go up to my initial comment here. I didn't dismiss Graham completely; instead I suggested people read Zhang first for some proper framework. In particular, his approach is compatible with efficient markets so the premiums are there to be earned by everyone. (More broadly I like to live with an abundance mindset. It's not always zero sum, mi amigo, especially since we are not talking about alpha here.)
You present yourself as a thinking man and professional, but sometimes I wonder if you have a reading comprehension problem or alternatively your reading ability is fine but you are so resistant to the viewpoints of others that you fail to understand them properly before you lash out. I'm no psychologist so I will leave that to your therapist.
Second, go knock yourself out with his lectures (https://www.amazon.com/Feynman-Lectures-Physics-boxed-set/dp/0465023827/) . Not a real test since you are smarter than the average /r/investing bear but give it an honest effort and report back in a month.
Bird Steward Lightfoot's "Transport Phenomena" was the text I used in graduate school. It's very math intensive, lots of partial differential equations. But it's the standard in most graduate programs. Lots of examples and problem sets.

Been designing parts for injection moulding for over 10years. As with most things there are rules, and with most rules they can be bent.
The best book I’ve come across is “Plastic Part Design for Injection Moulding”
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Plastic-Part-Design-Injection-Molding/dp/1569904367/ref=nodl_
You maybe able to find some on eBay. The amazon link is a blue book I have the old red edition.
There are a few different editions, any should be fine, the general principles haven’t changed.
I’m available as a consultant, PM if you need help in the future.
Plastic Part Design for Injection Molding is probably one of the best books out there on the design of plastic parts. Might also be worth looking into a course or book for injection mold tool design since understanding, draft, parting lines, shutoff, ejection, lifters, gates & runners and all other stuff that contribute to the limitations of plastic part design.
Espresso Coffee: The Science Of Quality
> Written by leading coffee technology specialists in consultation with some of the world's biggest coffee manufacturers, the second edition of the successful Espresso Coffee will once again comprehensively cover the current status of the chemistry and technology of espresso coffee. It comprehensively covers topics such as agronomy, green coffee processing, roasting/grinding, packaging, percolating and decaffeination techniques. It provides a comprehensive resource for those interested in the fundamental notions of coffee quality; with a point of reference given in the form of a detailed bibliography to provide direction to the wider literature.
I was going to suggest the same book. I found it very informative when I was first getting into designing my first injection molded parts. I still reference it!

You should just get Crane TP-410 . It is widely heralded as the "bible" in industry, that is - if you want practical information. If you want more theoretical, semi-practical information then you can use
First, octane rating has nothing to do with the gas volatility. You can have 87 winter blend that is more volatile than 87 summer blend. Volatility and octane are two completely separate values that have no relation to each other. You need to get that right before we can move on.
Also, knock is the colloquial term for detonation, which surprisingly you are correct. It's when the gas detonates before the spark event and creates much higher pressure in the cylinder. It can sometimes be heard as an audible "knock" in certain engines. It more often is unable to be heard without special monitoring equipment.
Last, as I said before, static compression is just one factor out of many that determines what the engine's octane requirement is. I'll give you a real world example. My 1972 Sportster has a static compression ratio of 9:1 and needs a minimum of 94 AKI to not detonate. My 2002 Sportster has a static compression of 10.5:1 and will run perfectly fine on 91 AKI.
By your simple, misunderstood statements the 2002 should be blowing up compared to my 72. The real answer is that octane and compression can be related, but compression is only one small factor in determining that. There are several other things that are far more dominating in determining the required octane.
If you would like to learn more about this so we can speak intelligently about it, please pick up a copy of John Heywood's Internal Combustion Engine Fundamentals (https://smile.amazon.com/Internal-Combustion-Engine-Fundamentals-Heywood/dp/007028637X?sa-no-redirect=1) and read it cover to cover. It will go over a lot of things you're misunderstanding and help you clarify some of your thoughts.

This book is great for starting out. There are others more suited to aerodynamics but that book is a good starting point.
See if your library has a copy of this book: https://www.amazon.com/Petroleum-Refining-Nontechnical-Language-William/dp/1593701586
Know how and why a distillation column works the way it does and maybe the basic equations for sizing a heat-exchanger.
Know what kind of refinery they have, do they have a coker? If so ask about how fracking has changed their economic environment. Find out why fracking would have changed the economic environment in case they ask you to clarify.

I am not that familiar with using ANSYS products outside of Fluent, but familiar in plenty of others.
Are you sure you don't have the license from ANSYS to import your native CAD into design modeler? IGS is a terribly awful and old format. You are translating your CAD into Latin and then asking design modeler to read it back in English.
Now your CAD can have flaws in it too, so ensure whatever CAD package your using can verify your body is a solid. In fact you may have better luck just putting the wind tunnel in your CAD package and doing the boolean there. It is always best to fix the geometry as far upstream in the process as possible.
Doing CFD takes a lot of practice and reading, it's not something to just pick up and click buttons. I highly, highly recommend you pick up some literature to understand what's going on. This book, IMO, is great for people who want to learn the methodology behind commercial software. https://www.amazon.com/Introduction-Computational-Fluid-Dynamics-Finite/dp/0131274988
I think there are PDFs of it floating around, but not sure how that works legally.
It's not online, but this is one of my favorite books ever: https://www.amazon.com/Strategic-Applications-Reactions-Organic-Synthesis/dp/0124297854
It's basically a compilation of a ton of named reactions, with a two page spread for each covering its use, discovery, and mechanism. An amazing book to just open to a random page and learn about/refresh your knowledge on a reaction.
Also, for sheer synthetic flexing, there's an app called chemistry by design, which has a lot of classic total syntheses and a quiz mode for each, where you see the reagents and guess the product, or vice versa. No mechanisms, though.
There is a newer edition for $170 it looks like. And it have eBook rental which is cheaper.
