Description

Chemical Engineering Process Simulation, Second Edition guides users through chemical processes and unit operations using the main simulation software used in the industrial sector. The book helps predict the characteristics of a process using mathematical models and computer-aided process simulation tools, as well as how to model and simulate process performance before detailed process design takes place. Content coverage includes steady-state and dynamic simulation, process design, control and optimization. In addition, readers will learn about the simulation of natural gas, biochemical, wastewater treatment and batch processes.

Key features

  • Provides an updated and expanded new edition that contains 60-70% new content
  • Guides readers through chemical processes and unit operations using the primary simulation software used in the industrial sector
  • Covers the fundamentals of process simulation, theory and advanced applications
  • Includes case studies of various difficulty levels for practice and for applying developed skills
  • Features step-by-step guides to using UniSim Design, SuperPro Designer, Symmetry, Aspen HYSYS and Aspen Plus for process simulation novices

Readership

Process engineers, chemical engineers, process engineering consultants, (post)-graduate chemical engineering students
