Synopsis

This develops the modelling and computational methods needed for the simulation of real processes. Fundamental modelling techniques are discussed in order to develop mechanistically sound mathematical descriptions of physical, chemical and biochemical processes. Practical computational methods are also developed so that efficient, accurate solutions can be readily obtained. It stresses the engineering fundamentals used in developing process models. This book considers both steady state and dynamic systems for spatially lumped and spatially distributed problems. It develops analytical and numerical computational techniques for algebraic, ordinary differential, and partial differential equations. It also stresses the use of the FORTRAN numerical routines in the IMSL library as a means of efficient and robust computer solution.
