Request a sales quoteIntroduction to Chemical Engineering Analysis Using Mathematica, Second Edition reviews the processes and designs used to manufacture, use, and dispose of chemical products using Mathematica, one of the most powerful mathematical software tools available for symbolic, numerical, and graphical computing. Analysis and computation are explained simultaneously. The book covers the core concepts of chemical engineering, ranging from the conservation of mass and energy to chemical kinetics. The text also shows how to use the latest version of Mathematica, from the basics of writing a few lines of code through developing entire analysis programs.
This second edition has been fully revised and updated, and includes analyses of the conservation of energy, whereas the first edition focused on the conservation of mass and ordinary differential equations.
- Offers a fully revised and updated new edition, extended with conservation of energy
- Covers a large number of topics in chemical engineering analysis, particularly for applications to reaction systems
- Includes many detailed examples
- Contains updated and new worked problems at the end of the book
- Written by a prominent scientist in the field
Practicing chemical engineers, professional chemists, materials scientists, and applied physicists; Undergraduates taking first courses in chemical engineering and graduates taking courses in analysis and computing
