Basic Principles and Calculations in Chemical Engineering  (English, Paperback, M. Himmelblau David)

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 seventh edition is revised to reflect the latest technologies and educational strategies that develop a student’s 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
