Computational Fluid Dynamics in Chemical Engineering

• Presents CFD as a powerful tool to solve a variety of problems, specifically in chemical engineering research and industry
• Provides a strong theoretical foundation that covers the fundamental mathematical modeling and numerical simulation involved
• Covers detailed examples of applications, including case studies on single-phase and multiphase reactors, fluid mixing, heat transfer, coupled heat and mass transport phenomena, solids handling, and transport in porous media
• Explores the analysis, design, optimization, and scale-up of chemical transformation systems, heat exchangers, mixers, distillation equipment, and absorption devices
• Bridges the gap between knowledge and recent application/advances by using examples and integrated tutorials

Primarily intended for undergraduate and graduate students in Chemical Engineering, providing fundamentals and training for the professional working on the solution of complex industrial problems or for the researcher carrying out disruptive investigations in Chemical Engineering sciences (and related fields), where CFD can be a helpful tool to understand the underlying physics; Helpful to the chemical engineers working in the analysis, design, optimization and scale-up of a variety of equipment as well as for the understanding of many phenomena occurring in that environment; Companies and academic laboratories focused on computational simulation solutions can also use it as a textbook for internal and/or external training courses

There will also be inevitable relevance to students and researchers/industry professionals in closely adjacent/overlapping areas such as Bioprocess Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Food Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Chemistry
