Features: Unit Operations of Chemical Engineering is an introductory textbook. Students must have completed prerequisite courses in advanced mathematics, physics, chemistry, and mechanical engineering before studying this course. The sixth edition of Unit Operations of Chemical Engineering inherits the strengths of previous editions while making appropriate modifications and additions. The main content of the book is divided into four parts: Fluid Mechanics, Heat Transfer and Applications, Mass Transfer and Applications, and Solid Particle Handling and Separation. The book presents unit operation processes from an applied perspective, focusing on the theoretical logical relationships of knowledge points. The chapters and discussion order are as follows: Fluid Statics and Applications, Fluid Flow Phenomena, Basic Equations of Fluid Flow, Incompressible Fluid Flow, Compressible Fluid Flow, Flow Through Solids, Fluid Transport and Measurement, Fluid Mixing and Agitation; Heat Conduction of Solids, Principles of Fluid Heat Exchange, Heat Transfer Without Phase Change, Heat Transfer with Phase Change, Radiant Heat Transfer, Heat Exchangers, Evaporation; Principles of Diffusion and Interphase Mass Transfer, Gas Absorption, Temperature Treatment, Process Equilibrium Stages, Distillation, Multicomponent Distillation, Extraction and Purification, Solid Drying, Fixed-Bed Separation, Membrane Separation Processes, Crystallization; Properties and Handling of Solid Particles, Mechanical Separation. This book is suitable for senior undergraduate students in related fields and can also be used as a reference for scientific researchers and engineering technicians engaged in practical work. The book has been widely used by many universities both domestically and internationally due to its rigorous structure, logical coherence, strong practicality, and rich content.
