Principles of Chemical Engineering Processes

Principles of Chemical Engineering Processes presents a thorough introduction to the fundamental principles and calculation techniques that underpin material and energy balances in chemical engineering. The book is enriched with clear, illustrative examples and practical case studies that explore topics such as dimension analysis, unit conversion, psychrometry, steam properties, and the conservation of mass and energy. It also illustrates the use of MATLAB® and Simulink® to tackle complex problems associated with chemical reactors and process dynamics. This second edition, updated in response to feedback from both educators and students, includes an entirely new chapter on single- and multiphase systems along with additional solved examples and homework problems. It systematically develops the reader’s quantitative problem-solving skills—guiding them in translating descriptive challenges into mathematical expressions and diagrams, and honing their ability to make logical approximations and assumptions when faced with ambiguous problem statements.
