PHI Learning Chemical Process Modelling And Computer Simulation
This comprehensive and thoroughly revised text, now in its third edition, continues to present the fundamental concepts of how mathematical models of chemical processes are constructed and demonstrate their applications to the simulation of three of the very important chemical engineering systems: the chemical reactors, distillation systems and vaporizing processes.The book provides an integrated treatment of process description, mathematical modelling and dynamic simulation of realistic problems, using the robust process model approach and its simulation with efficient numerical techniques. Theoretical background materials on activity coefficient models, equation of state models, reaction kinetics, and numerical solution techniques—needed for the development and simulation of mathematical models—are also addressed in the book.The topics of discussion related to tanks, heat exchangers, chemical reactors (both continuous and batch), biochemical reactors (continuous and fed-batch), distillation columns (continuous and batch), equilibrium flash vaporizer, refinery debutanizer column, evaporator, and steam generator contain several worked-out examples and case studies to teach students how chemical processes are operated, characterized and monitored using computer programming.New to this EditionThe inclusion of following three new chapters on: Gas Absorption Liquid–Liquid Extraction Column Once-Through Steam Generator will further strengthen the text.This book is designed for senior level undergraduate and first-year postgraduate level courses in ‘Chemical Process Modelling and Simulation’. The book will also be useful for students of petrochemical engineering, biotechnology, and biochemical engineering. It can serve as a guide for research scientists and practising engineers as well.

Cambridge University Press Numerical Methods
Numerical methods are a cornerstone of modern engineering. This lucid textbook strikes a balance between theory and analysis of numerical methods and their practical applications in engineering. Each chapter starts with the formulation and graphical representation of the numerical method. This is followed by the algorithms required to create computer assisted solutions and simulations, which are then applied on real-world examples and case studies to show how exactly they are used. Finally, the strengths and weaknesses of the numerical method under discussion is explained, thus helping the reader choose the best method for a specific problem at hand. Using extensive mathematical problems, illustrative examples and industrially relevant case studies, the book gives the readers physical insights into the ground realities of engineering applications, particularly in areas like heat transfer, fluid mechanics, mass transfer, transport phenomena, and thermodynamics.
