RICHARD M. FELDER has authored or co–authored over 100 papers on chemical process engineering and engineering education, and presents seminars, workshops, and short courses on both topics to industrial and research institutions and universities in the United State, Europe, and South America. Since 1990 he has co–directed the National Effective Teaching Institute under the auspices of the American Society for Engineering Education. He has won numerous awards for his contributions to engineering education.

RONALD W. ROUSSEAU is Professor of Chemical Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. His Teaching and research activities focus on separation and purification, and he has been honored for his work in crystallization. He has published extensively and given lectu5res and short courses in Asia, Australia, Europe, the Middle East, and throughout the United States. An active promoter of university–industry interactions, he has served as Chair of the Council for Chemical Research and consultant to more than 50 organizations.

From the Back Cover

GAIN A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF CHEMICAL PROCESSES

Material that′s presented in a very clear and accessible way... frequent use of examples...case studies based on commercial processes...a CD–ROM with instructional tutorials, a powerful equation solver, and a visual encyclopedia of chemical process equipment... These are just a few of the features of this text that help provide a realistic, informative introduction to chemical processes.

Key Features of the Third Edition

• Nearly every section in the third edition has been revised to provide increased clarity.
• Hundreds of new and revised problems and new case studies cover a broader spectrum of chemical engineering applications.
• Some problems require spreadsheeting, and others call for using equation–solving software.
• The INTERACTIVE CHEMICAL PROCESS PRINCIPLES (ICPP) CD–ROM provides an active learning environment. With this software, students respond to questions and receive immediate feedback, explore variations in process parameters and se e the effects of their changes on process operations, and more.
