Basic Principles and Calculations in Chemical Engineering - David M. Himmelblau

The Number One Guide to Chemical Engineering Principles Techniques Calculations and Applications: Now Even More Current Efficient and Practical Basic Principles and Calculations in Chemical Engineering Eighth Edition goes far beyond traditional introductory chemical engineering topics presenting applications that reflect the full scope of contemporary chemical petroleum and environmental engineering. Celebrating its fiftieth Anniversary as the field's leading practical introduction it has been extensively updated and reorganized to cover today's principles and calculations more efficiently and to present far more coverage of bioengineering nanoengineering and green engineering. Offering a strong foundation of skills and knowledge for successful study and practice it guides students through formulating and solving material and energy balance problems as well as describing gases liquids and vapors. Throughout the authors introduce efficient consistent student-friendly methods for solving problems analyzing data and gaining a conceptual application-based understanding of modern chemical engineering processes. This edition's improvements include many new problems examples and homework assignments. Coverage includes Modular chapters designed to support introductory chemical engineering courses of any length Thorough introductions to unit conversions basis selection and process measurements Consistent sound strategies for solving material and energy balance problems Clear introductions to key concepts ranging from stoichiometry to enthalpy Behavior of gases liquids and solids: ideal/real gases single component two-phase systems gas-liquid systems 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 and bioengineering problems throughout New examples and homework on nanotechnology environmental engineering and green engineering Extensive tables charts and glossaries in each chapte Many new student projects Reference appendices presenting atomic weights and numbers Pitzer Z factors heats of formation and combustion and more Practical readable and exceptionally easy to use Basic Principles and Calculations in Chemical Engineering Eighth Editionis the definitive chemical engineering introduction for students license candidates practicing engineers and scientists.
