Chemical and Energy Process Engineering

Written in an easy-to-read style, this textbook is intended for second year chemical engineering courses, but is intentionally designed to be of continuing use to practicing engineers. The author, a dynamic systems expert, approaches the introductory material in a fundamental way. He provides a thorough grounding in basic mass and energy balances and highlights their importance. He also covers timely topics such as basic thermodynamics and analysis of energy efficiency. Especially popular with students, the pedagogic approaches in this book have been classroom-tested for a decade of semesters. A solutions manual is available for instructors and additional problems are posted on the web.
