Basic Principles and Calculations in Chemical Engineering

The #1 Guide to Chemical Engineering Principles, Techniques,  Calculations, and Applications--Revised, Streamlined, and Modernized  with New Examples

Basic Principles and Calculations in  Chemical Engineering, Ninth Edition, has been thoroughly revised,  streamlined, and updated to reflect sweeping changes in the chemical  engineering field. This introductory guide addresses the full scope of  contemporary chemical, petroleum, and environmental engineering  applications and contains extensive new coverage and examples related to  biotech, nanotech, green/environmental engineering, and process safety,  with many new MATLAB and Python problems throughout.

Authors  David M. Himmelblau and James B. Riggs offer a strong foundation of  skills and knowledge for successful study and practice, guiding students  through formulating and solving material and energy balance problems,  as well as describing gases, liquids, and vapors. Throughout, they  introduce efficient, consistent, learner-friendly ways to solve  problems, analyze data, and gain a conceptual, application-based  understanding of modern processes.

This edition condenses  coverage from previous editions to serve today's students and faculty  more efficiently. In two entirely new chapters, the authors provide a  comprehensive introduction to dynamic material and energy balances, as  well as psychrometric charts.
Modular chapters designed to support  introductory courses of any lengthIntroductions to unit conversions,  basis selection, and process measurementsStrategies for solving diverse  material and energy balance problems, including material balances with  chemical reaction and for multi-unit processes, and energy balances with  reactionClear introductions to key concepts ranging from stoichiometry  to enthalpyCoverage of ideal/real gases, multi-phase equilibria,  unsteady-state material, humidity (psychrometric) charts, and  moreSelf-assessment questions to help readers identify areas they don't  fully understandThought, discussion, and homework problems in every  chapterNew biotech, bioengineering, nanotechnology, green/environmental  engineering, and process safety coverageRelevant new MATLAB and Python  homework problems and projectsExtensive tables, charts, and glossaries  in each chapterReference appendices presenting atomic weights and  numbers, Pitzer Z^0/Z^1 factors, heats of formation and combustion, and  moreEasier than ever to use, this book is the definitive practical  introduction for students, license candidates, practicing engineers, and  scientists.
