Chemical Engineering

"This volume covers the three main transport process of interest to chemical engineers - momentum transfer (fluid flow), heat transfer and mass transfer and the relationships between them... The topics covered form the theoretical basis for much of the material in the later volumes of the series."

"...covers the properties of particulate systems, including the character of individual particles and their behaviour in fluids. Sedimentation of particles, both singly and at high concentrations, flow in packed and fluidised beads and filtration are then examined. The latter part of the book deals with separation processes, such as distillation and gas absorption, which illustrate applications of the fundamental principles of mass transfer introduced in Chemical Engineering Volume 1... [also] several techniques of growing importance - adsorption, ion exchange, chromatographic and membrane separations, and process intensification - are described.

"[This volume] is devoted to reaction engineering (both chemical and biochemical), together with measurement and process control".

" Written for the Senior Design Course, and also suitable for introduction to chemical engineering courses, it covers the basics of unit operations and the latest aspects of process design, equipment selection, plant and operating economics, safety and loss prevention."
