Simultaneous Mass Transfer and Chemical Reactions in Engineering Science
A comprehensive look at the basic science of diffusional process and mass transfer
Mass transfer as a principle is an essential part of numerous unit operations in biomolecular, chemical, and process engineering; crystallization, distillation, and membrane separation processes, for example, use this important method. Given this significance - particularly in engineering design where these processes occur - understanding the design and analysis of such unit operations must begin with a basic understanding of how simultaneous mass transfer and the chemical reactions that influence these occurrences. It is also vital to be aware of the most up-to-date technologies for analyzing and predicting the phenomena.
Given the significance of this process, Simultaneous Mass Transfer and Chemical Reactions in Engineering Science is an important resource as it introduces the reader to the complex subject of simultaneous mass transfer with biochemical and chemical reactions and gives them the tools to develop an applicable design. Analyzing the systems of simultaneous mass transfer and reactions is at the core of this book, as all known design approaches are carefully examined and compared. The volume also provides the reader with a working knowledge of the latest technologies - with a special focus on the open-sourced computer programming language R - and how these tools are an essential resource in quantitative assessment in analysis models.
Simultaneous Mass Transfer and Chemical Reactions in Engineering Science provides a working knowledge of the latest information on simultaneous mass transfer and reactions by focusing on the analysis of this process, as well as discussing the existence and distinctive quality of the solutions to the Simultaneous Mass Transfer and Chemical Reactions in Engineering Science readers will also find: - A theoretical basis of each design model that is carefully stated, compared, and assessed - Carefully developed and established Existence and Uniqueness Theorems for a general design model - Comprehensive coverage of how the programming language R may be used to analyze models - Numerous examples and case studies that provide a working knowledge of simultaneous mass transfer and reactions
Simultaneous Mass Transfer and Chemical Reactions in Engineering Science is a useful reference for students in chemical engineering, biotechnology, or chemistry, as well as professional process and chemical engineers.
