Publisher's Synopsis
COMPREHENSIVE CHEMICAL ENGINEERING textbook covers in details the principles, processes and application in chemical engineering. The mathematical calculations which has always been a challenge to readers at all levels have been simplified and the steps shown clearly so that, the reader can read understand chemical engineering with limited guidance.
University undergraduate and postgraduate students will find the textbook particularly useful. In the book the following topics have been covered in detail: mass transfer, water cooling and hunidification, engineering thermodynamics, fluid flow, chemical process control, model and modelling in chemical processes, control for integrated units, the conservation principles, mathematical models, tubular head, Fourier law, fluid flow, heat flow in composite systems, heat transfer by convection, phase equilibria, levers rule, critical pressure ratio and maximum velocity, flow of gases, pump deivices shear stress and shear rate, head loss, reactors, kinetics of reactors, reactor design, nozzles in gas flow, process diagrams etc.
