Description

Calculations in Chemical Engineering: Fundamentals and Industrial Processes – From Theory to Practice is an valuable resource for students, educators, and professionals in the field of chemical engineering. The book bridges the gap between theoretical principles and their industrial applications, focusing on process calculations. With detailed coverage of both fundamental concepts and specialized topics, this book equips readers with the necessary tools to address real-world challenges in the chemical industry. The text is divided into two parts: Calculations in Chemical Engineering Fundamentals and Calculations in Industrial Chemical Processes. Part A covers foundational topics such as material and energy balances, chemical thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat and mass transfer, chemical reaction engineering, and process dynamics. Part B provides advanced applications, including environmental chemical engineering, sustainability, oil and gas process engineering, and biochemical engineering. Each chapter is designed to enhance understanding through step-by-step problem-solving techniques, real-world case studies, and supplementary materials like software tools for process simulations.
