A Primer on Basic Skills Required by Chemical Engineers
Written in a clear, concise style, Principles of Chemical Engineering Processes provides an introduction to the basic principles and calculation techniques that are fundamental to the field. The text focuses on problems in material and energy balances that arise in relation to problems involving chemical reactors and introduces numerical methods used to solve these problems using simple software packages.
Upon mastery of this material, readers will be able to:
Understand basic processing terminology (batch, semibatch, continuous, purge, and recycle) and standard operations (reaction, distillation, absorption, extraction, and filtration)
Draw and fully label a flowchart for a given process description
Choose a convenient basis for calculation, for single- and multiple-unit processes
Identify possible subsystems for which material and energy balances might be written
Perform a degree of freedom analysis for the overall system and each possible subsystem, formulate and simplify the appropriate material and energy balance equations, and perform the necessary calculations
Apply the first law of thermodynamics, calculate energy and enthalpy changes using tabulated data and heat capacities, and construct energy balances on closed and open systems
Written as a text to fully meet the needs of advanced undergraduate students, it is also suitable as a reference for chemical engineers with its wide coverage across the biochemical and electromechanical fields. Each chapter of the text provides examples, case studies, and end-of-chapter problems. The accompanying CD-ROM contains educational software and additional exercises, and a solutions manual is available for qualifying course adoption. ISBN -9781420080131
