基本信息出版社:Prentice Hall; 8 (2012年5月26日)丛书名:Prentice Hall International Series in the Physical and Chemical Engineering Sciences精装:768页正文语种:英语ISBN:0132346605条形码:9780132346603ASIN:0132346605商品描述内容简介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 Editiongoes 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 lengthThorough introductions to unit conversions, basis selection, and process measurementsConsistent, sound strategies for solving material and energy balance problemsClear introductions to key concepts ranging from stoichiometry to enthalpyBehavior of gases, liquids, and solids: ideal/real gases, single component two-phase systems, gas-liquid systems, and moreSelf-assessment questions to help readers identify areas they don’t fully understandThought/discussion and homework problems in every chapterNew biotech and bioengineering problems throughoutNew examples and homework on nanotechnology, environmental engineering, and green engineeringExtensive tables, charts, and glossaries in each chapteMany new student projectsReference 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 Edition,is the definitive chemical engineering introduction for students, license candidates, practicing engineers, and scientists.
