DescriptionBasic 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 fields leading practical introduction, it has been extensively updated and reorganized to cover todays 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 editions improvements include many new problems, examples and homework assignments.Table of ContentsPreface xiiiRead Me xvAcknowledgements xixAbout the Authors xxPART I: IntroductionChapter 1: What are Chemical Engineering and Bioengineering?IntroductionA Brief History of Chemical EngineeringWhere Do Chemical and Bioengineers Work?Future Contributions of Chemical and BioengineeringConclusionChapter 2: Introductory ConceptsSystems of UnitsConversion of UnitsDimensional ConsistencySignificant FiguresValidation of ResultsThe Mole and Molecular WeightChoosing a BasisDensity and Specific GravityConcentrationTemperaturePressure and Hydrostatic HeadFlow RatePart II: Material BalancesChapter 3: Material BalancesIntroduction to Material BalancesA Genneral Strategy for Solving Material Balance ProblemsChapter 4: Material Balances without ReactionChapter 5: Material Balances Involving ReactionsStoichiometryTerminology for Reaction SystemsSpecies Mole BalancesElement Material BalancesMaterial Balances for Combustion SystemsChapter 6: Material Balances for Multi-Unit SystemsSequential Multi-Unit SystemsRecycle SystemsBypass and PurgeThe Industrial Application of Material BalancesPart III: Gases, Vapors, and LiquidsChapter 7: Ideal and Real GasesIdeal GasesReal Gases: Equations of StateReal Gases: Compressibility ChartsReal Gas MixturesChapter 8: Multiphase EquilibriumIntroductionPhase Diagrams and the Phase RuleSingle Component Two-Phase Systems (Vapor Pressure)Two-Component Gas/Single-Component Liquid SystemsTwo Component Gas/Two Component Liquid SystemsMulticomponent Vapor-Liquid EquilibriumPart IV: EnergyChapter 9: Energy BalancesTerminology Associated with Energy BalancesTypes of Energy to Be Included in Energy BalancesEnergy Balances without ReactionChapter 10: Energy Balances: How to Account for Chemical ReactionThe Standard Heat (Enthalpy) of FormationThe Heat (Enthalpy) of ReactionIntegration of Heat of Formation and Sensible HeatThe Heat (Enthalpy) of CombustionChapter 11: Humidity (Psychrometric) Charts and Their UseTerminologyThe Humidity (Psychrometric) ChartApplications of the Humidity ChartPart V: Supplementary MaterialChapter 12: Analysis Of The Degrees Of Freedom in a Steady-State ProcessChapter 13: Heats of Solution and MixingChapter 14: The Mechanical Energy BalanceChapter 15: Liquids and Gases in Equilibrium with SolidsChapter 16: Solving Material and Energy Balances Using Process Simulators (Flow sheeting Codes)Chapter 17: Unsteady-State Material And Energy BalancesAppendixesAppendix A: Answers to Supplemental Questions and ProblemsAppendix B: Atomic Weights and NumbersAppendix C: Table of the Pitzer Z0 and Z1 FactorsAppendix D: Heats of Formation and CombustionAppendix E: Answers to Selected ProblemsAppendix F: Physical Properties Of Various Organic And Inorganic SubstancesAppendix G: Heat Capacity EquationsAppendix H: Vapor PressuresAppendix I: Heats of Solution and DilutionAppendix J: Enthalpy-Concentration DataAppendix K: Thermodynamic ChartsAppendix L: Physical Properties of Petroleum FractionsAppendix M: Solution of Sets of EquationsAppendix N: Fitting Functions to DataAuthor(s) DescriptionDavid M.
