Volume 33: Integrated Design and Simulation of Chemical Processes, 1st Edition

Key Features

Provides an introduction to the newest design methods.
Of great value to undergraduate and postgraduate students as well as professional engineers.
Numerous examples illustrate theoretical priciples and design issues.

Description

This title aims to teach how to invent optimal and sustainable chemical processes by making use of systematic conceptual methods and computer simulation techniques. The material covers five sections: process simulation; thermodynamic methods; process synthesis; process integration; and design project including case studies. It is primarily intended as a teaching support for undergraduate and postgraduate students following various process design courses and projects, but will also be of great value to professional engineers interested in the newest design methods.

Readership

Chemical engineering and industrial chemistry university departments; libraries of companies in basic chemicals, petrochemicals, refining and gas processing; engineering contractors; chemical engineers; undergraduate and postgraduate students.
