Process Engineering: Addressing the Gap between Study and Chemical Industry

Description

This book provides a comprehensive introduction to chemical process engineering, linking the fundamental theory and concepts to the industrial practice. This 2nd Edition contains new chapters on biological wastewater treatment, dynamic simulation, and PID discussion. It enables the reader to integrate fundamental knowledge of the basic disciplines, to understand key chemical processes, and to apply this knowledge to the practice in industry. Connects the academic theory of Process Engineering with the industrial practice Essential reading for students considering a career in the chemical industry New in the 2nd Edition: dynamic simulation, biological wastewater treatment, PID discussion Preface Preface to the 2nd edition Contents 1.
