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 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.
