Basic Principles and Calculations in Chemical Engineering 9th Edition

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 length
• Introductions to unit conversions, basis selection, and process measurements
• Strategies   for solving diverse material and energy balance problems, including   material balances with chemical reaction and for multi-unit processes,   and energy balances with reaction
• Clear introductions to key concepts ranging from stoichiometry to enthalpy
• Coverage of ideal/real gases, multi-phase equilibria, unsteady-state material, humidity (psychrometric) charts, and more
• Self-assessment questions to help readers identify areas they don't fully understand
• Thought, discussion, and homework problems in every chapter
• New biotech, bioengineering, nanotechnology, green/environmental engineering, and process safety coverage
• Relevant new MATLAB and Python homework problems and projects
• Extensive tables, charts, and glossaries in each chapter
• Reference appendices presenting atomic weights and numbers, Pitzer Z^0/Z^1 factors, heats of formation and combustion, and more

Easier   than ever to use, this book is the definitive practical introduction   for students, license candidates, practicing engineers, and scientists.
