About this title

Synopsis:

While Mass Transfer Operations is a required course in every undergraduate chemical engineering program in the world, there does not exist a comprehensive text on the subject that is specifically tailored to the undergraduate reader. Principles and Modern Applications of Mass Transfer Operations responds to this need, providing a thorough, accessible text that presents the latest advances in the science as well as sets of targeted questions that challenge students knowledge.

The focus throughout Jaime Benitez s peerless study is on making the student consider computation from the start of a mass transfer dilemma. Twenty–five to thirty problems at the end of each chapter ensure that readers will remain actively engaged with the material. Principles incorporates examples of computational software such as Mathcad 2001, Matlab®, Mathematica, and Aspen Graphics, and also includes an ftp site that offers problems for each of these software applications as well as a Solutions Manual. Chapters encompass:

–Fundamentals of mass transfer
–Convective mass transfer
–Interphase mass transfer
–Equipment for gas–liquid mass transfer operations
–Absorption and stripping
–Distillation
–Liquid–liquid extraction

Ideal for a first course in mass transfer operations, this text will also prove valuable to chemical and environmental engineers, researchers, and university faculty.
