Book Description

ISBN-10: 3527285776 | ISBN-13: 978-3527285778 | Publication Date: April 12, 1994 | Edition: 1

In this book, the reader is guided through the complex study of dynamic chemical engineering systems by the unique combination of a simplified presentation of the fundamental theory (Part 1) and direct hands-on computer experimentation with the provision of 85 accompanying computer-based simulation examples (Part 2) supplied on diskette.

The ISIM digital simulation language is very simple to use and its powerful interactive nature enables the readers to create their own simulations, based on their own specific problems. This powerful dynamic ISIM software is ready to run on any DOS personal computer.

The treatment employed in this book is well tried and tested, based on over 20 years experience in teaching an international post- experience course. Whether for the teacher, the student, the chemist or engineer, this book serves as the key to a greater understanding of chemical engineering dynamics through the fun and enjoyment of active learning.

Editorial Reviews

Review

'... Overall this book has much to offer to the newcomer to dynamic simulation. For a second oppinion I passed the book to a visitor with extensive experience of developing dynamic simulation software. He browsed through it for a few minutes, checking the detail and scope of the examples and found little to argue with. He then asked me to buy him a copy.' (The Chemical Engineer, GB)

'...An excellent introductory "refresher-course" on the basic concepts...This is followed by 78 programs which illustrate the points made and encourage the reader to "tweak" and play "what-if" games...Whilst reading this book I found a surprising amount of relaxation and pleasure in just running the programs through on a notebook computer. There are very few textbooks in my experience where it takes a great effort of will to put the book down! This is one of them...'

From the Publisher

The emphasis of this book is on the simple solution of complex chemical engineering and chemical process dynamics and self instruction through direct hands-on computer experimentation with the aid of 85 computer-based simulation examples supplied on diskette.
