Synopsis

In this work, the modelling of dynamic chemical engineering processes is presented using the combination of simplified fundamental theory and direct hands-on computer simulation. The mathematics is kept to a minimum, and yet the nearly 100 examples supplied on a CD-ROM illustrate almost every aspect of chemical engineering science. Each example is described in detail, including the model equations. They are written in the modern user-friendly simulation language, MADONNA, which can be run on both Windows PC and Power-Macintosh computers. The book is aimed at the teacher, the student, the chemist or the engineer. It provides an understanding in the formulation and the use of mass and energy balances for chemical engineering. This book is a second edition, which includes new software, and it also includes a new section on biological process examples.

Review

′... Overall this book has much to offer to the newcomer to dynamic simulation. For a second oppinion I passed the book to a visitor with extensive experience of developing dynamic simulation software. He browsed through it for a few minutes, checking the detail and scope of the examples and found little to argue with. He then asked me to buy him a copy.′ (The Chemical Engineer, GB)

′...An excellent introductory "refresher–course" on the basic concepts...This is followed by 78 programs which illustrate the points made and encourage the reader to "tweak" and play "what–if" games...Whilst reading this book I found a surprising amount of relaxation and pleasure in just running the programs through on a notebook computer. There are very few textbooks in my experience where it takes a great effort of will to put the book down! This is one of them...′ (Laboratory News, New Zealand)
