Basic Principles and Calculations

in Chemical Engineering Seventh


Edition
Chemical engineering principles and techniques: a practical and up-to-date introduction
In addition to the traditional introductory chemical engineering topics, this book covers applications
that reflect the expanded scope of chemical engineering including bioengineering, microelectronics
processing, environmental engineering, and nanotechnology. As a result, this book provides a
complete, practical, and student-friendly introduction to the principles and techniques of contemporary
chemical, petroleum, and environmental engineering.
The authors introduce efficient and consistent methods for problem solving, analyzing data, and
developing a conceptual understanding by application to a wide variety of processes. The seventh
edition is revised to reflect the latest technologies and educational strategies that develop a students
abilities for reasoning and critical thinking.
Coverage includes:
29 short chapters provide a flexible modular sequence of topics for courses of varying length
A thorough coverage of introductory material, including unit conversions, basis selection, and
process measurements
Consistent, sound strategies for solving material and energy balance problems
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
New examples and problems covering environmental, safety, semiconductor processing,
green engineering, nanotechnology, and biotechnology
Extensive tables and charts, plus glossaries in every chapter
Self-assessment tests, thought/discussion problems, and homework problems for each chapter
13 appendices providing extensive reference material
Practically orientated and student friendly, Basic Principles and Calculations in Chemical
Engineering, Seventh Edition, is the definitive chemical engineering introduction for students, license
candidates, practicing engineers, and scientists.
CD-ROM INCLUDES
UPDATED Polymath software for solving linear/nonlinear/differential equations and regression problems
NEW physical property database containing over 740 compounds available in a very convenient
point-and-click format for Windows
200 supplementary problems, 100 with detailed solutions
Descriptions and animations of process equipment
