Introductory Elements of Analysis and Design in Chemical Engineering

Introductory Elements of Analysis and Design in Chemical Engineering introduces readers to how chemical engineers think. It explains the application of analytical methods to phenomena important in chemical engineering and teaches analytical skills in the context of engineering design. A principle goal is to help readers reinforce their understanding of mathematics (especially calculus) and science as they are introduced to engineering thinking.

Key Features:

  • Emphasizes basic principles, methods, and problem solving at an elementary level
  • Presents concepts in calculus, chemistry, and physics and methods of analysis on the basis of experiment and observation
  • Connects experimental results to mathematical representations
  • Provides numerous illustrative examples and builds on them to introduce processing and process flow diagrams and to place chemical engineering in an historical context
  • Includes problems at the end of each chapter

Aimed at readers beginning their studies in chemical engineering, this textbook offers an approachable introduction to the principles of analysis and design in chemical engineering to help readers learn to think quantitatively and with a foundation of chemical engineering concepts.
