1st Edition
by Louis Theodore (Author), Francesco Ricci (Author)
An invaluable guide for problem solving in mass transfer operations
This
book takes a highly pragmatic approach to providing the principles and
applications of mass transfer operations by offering a valuable, easily
accessible guide to solving engineering problems. Both traditional and
novel mass transfer processes receive treatment. As with all of the
books in this series, emphasis is placed on an example-based approach to
illustrating key engineering concepts.
The book is divided into
two major parts. It starts with the principles underlying engineering
problems―showing readers how to apply general engineering principles to
the topic of mass transfer operations. It then goes on to provide
step-by-step guidance for traditional mass transfer operations,
including distillation, absorption and stripping, and adsorption, plus
novel mass transfer processes. Essential topics for professional
engineering exams are also covered.
Geared towards chemical,
environmental, civil, and mechanical engineers working on real-world
industrial applications, Mass Transfer Operations for the Practicing
Engineer features:
-
Numerous sample problems and solutions with real-world applications
-
Clear, precise explanations on how to carry out the basic calculations associated with mass transfer operations
-
Coverage of topics from the ground up for readers without prior knowledge of the subject
-
Overview
of topics relevant to the ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and
Technology) for those taking the Professional Engineering (PE) exams
-
Appendix containing relevant mass transfer operation charts and tables
