Applied Differential Equations and Solution Methods for Chemical Engineering

Applied Differential Equations and Solution Methods for Chemical Engineering provides a strong mathematical foundation for chemical engineers, beginning with a brief overview of pre-calculus tools needed and the fundamental definition of a derivative and integral and stretching to partial differentiation solution methods including analytical tools such as Sturm-Liouville, and numerical method theory such as Newton’s method and simple CFD analysis.
The book addresses the lack of fundamental knowledge on how to transform equations to different geometries, taking into account that cartesian or cubic, cylindrical, and spherical are not the only geometries to be faced in an R&D or Pilot Plant development role during a career. Furthermore, the book includes the theory needed for the use of numerical methods encountered in an industrial setting.
