Book Description
This introduction to chemical processes lays the foundation for a chemical engineering curriculum. It shows beginning students how to apply engineering techniques to the solution of process-related problems by breaking each problem down into individual component parts, defining the relationships between them, and reuniting them in a single solution. Providing detailed practical examples with every problem, and self-test questions at the end of each chapter, it uses predominantly SI units in its coverage of theoretical components of an engineering calculation, processes and process variables, fundamentals of material balances, single and multiphase systems, energy and energy balances, balances on nonreactive processes, and more.
From the Back Cover
GAIN A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF CHEMICAL PROCESSES Material that's presented in a very clear and accessible way... frequent use of examples...case studies based on commercial processes...a CD-ROM with instructional tutorials, a powerful equation solver, and a visual encyclopedia of chemical process equipment... These are just a few of the features of this text that help provide a realistic, informative introduction to chemical processes.
Key Features of the Third Edition
-
Nearly every section in the third edition has been revised to provide increased clarity.
-
Hundreds of new and revised problems and new case studies cover a broader spectrum of chemical engineering applications.
-
Some problems require spreadsheeting, and others call for using equation-solving software.
-
The INTERACTIVE CHEMICAL PROCESS PRINCIPLES (ICPP) CD-ROM provides an active learning environment. With this software, students respond to questions and receive immediate feedback, explore variations in process parameters and se e the effects of their changes on process operations, and more.
