Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
This introduction to chemical processes lays the foundation for a chemical engineering curriculum. It shows beginning students how to apply engineering techniques to the solution of process-related problems by breaking each problem down into individual component parts, defining the relationships between them, and reuniting them in a single solution. Provides detailed practical examples with every problem, and self-test questions at the end of each chapter.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
