Transport Processes and Separation Process Principles (International Series in the Physical and Chemical Engineering Sciences)

About this book

The Complete Unified Up-to-Date Guide to Transport and SeparationFully Updated for Todays Methods and Software Tools Transport Processes and Separation Process Principles Fifth Edition offers a unified and up-to-date treatment of momentum heat and mass transfer and separations processes. This editionreorganized and modularized for better readability and to align with modern chemical engineering curriculacovers both fundamental principles and practical applications and is a key resource for chemical engineering students and professionals alike. This edition provides New chapter objectives and summaries throughout Better linkages between coverage of heat and mass transfer More coverage of heat exchanger design New problems based on emerging topics such as biotechnology nanotechnology and green engineering New instructor resources: additional homework problems exam questions problem-solving videos computational projects and more Part 1 thoroughly covers the fundamental principles of transport phenomena organized into three sections: fluid mechanics heat transfer and mass transfer. Part 2 focuses on key separation processes including absorption stripping humidification filtration membrane separation gaseous membranes distillation liquidliquid extraction adsorption ion exchange crystallization and particle-size reduction settling sedimentation centrifugation leaching evaporation and drying. The authors conclude with convenient appendices on the properties of water compounds foods biological materials pipes tubes and screens. The companion website (trine.edu/transport5ed/) contains additional homework problems that incorporate todays leading software including Aspen/CHEMCAD MATLAB COMSOL and Microsoft Excel.
