Elementary Principles Of Chemical Processes (With CD) gives you a pragmatic and descriptive introduction to chemical processes. Summary Of The Book This book trains readers to devise and solve energy and material balances in chemical process systems. The book comes with a CD that gives you an instructional and interactive tutorial. The CD has extensive details on chemical process equipment and also provides valuable information on physical property databases. You will find specific programs that will help you solve algebraic and differential equations. This third edition boasts of having hundreds of case studies of industrial processes and has new problems for you to work on. The book has been revised to increase clarifications on various topics. Frequent use of examples and the clear, concise layout of the material in the book add to its popularity. Elementary Principles Of Chemical Processes (With CD) covers a wide array of topics from material balances to steam reforming of natural gas. It covers the fundamentals of material balances and presents necessary case studies. Single phase and multiphase systems are also dealt with in this book. The authors have included content that describes engineering problem analysis and gives a snapshot of what some chemical engineers do for a living. There are separate sections on balances on nonreactive and reactive processes. Energy balances, balances on transient processes and computer aided balance calculations are also covered in this book. You will learn about processes and process variables along with some more interesting topics like scrubbing of sulfur dioxide from power plant stack gases and production of chlorinated polyvinyl chloride. The content in this book has been adopted by most of the US chemical engineering departments and has been translated into Spanish, Chinese, Portuguese and Korean. About The Authors Ronald W.
