Process Modeling and Simulation for Chemical Engineers

<p>This book provides a rigorous treatment of the fundamental concepts and techniques involved in process modeling and simulation. The book allows the reader to:</p> <p>(i)         Get a solid grasp of “under-the-hood” mathematical results</p> <p>(ii)        Develop models of sophisticated processes</p> <p>(iii)       Transform models to different geometries and domains as appropriate</p> <p>(iv)       Utilize various model simplification techniques</p> <p>(v)        Learn simple and effective computational methods for model simulation</p> <p>(vi)       Intensify the effectiveness of their research</p> <p>Modeling and Simulation for Chemical Engineers: Theory and Practice begins with an introduction to the terminology of process modeling and simulation. Chapters 2 and 3 cover fundamental and constitutive relations, while Chapter 4 on model formulation builds on these relations. Chapters 5 and 6 introduce the advanced techniques of model transformation and simplification. Chapter 7 deals with model simulation, and the final chapter reviews important mathematical concepts.</p> Presented in a methodical, systematic way, this book is suitable as a self-study guide or as a graduate reference, and includes examples, schematics and diagrams to enrich understanding. End of chapter problems with solutions and computer software available online at <a href=”http://www.wiley.com/go/upreti/pms_for_chemical_engineers”>www.wiley.com/go/upreti/pms_for_chemical_engineers</a> are designed to further stimulate readers to apply the newly learned concepts.
