Features: This book is compiled based on the teaching syllabus for chemical engineering fundamentals in applied chemistry and chemistry programs at comprehensive universities, combined with the author's extensive teaching experience. It includes four chapters: Fluid Flow, Heat Transfer, Mass Transfer and Separation, and Chemical Reaction Engineering, each followed by carefully selected exercises. Given that the primary readers of this book are science students, special attention is paid to revealing the intrinsic principles of chemical engineering processes when explaining their principles, such as the similarities and analogous laws in momentum transfer, heat transfer, and mass transfer mechanisms. The book also highlights engineering-specific methods, such as the introduction of dimensional analysis, providing detailed explanations of their origins and developments. In the introduction, the book briefly covers knowledge of chemical process development, adds membrane separation processes to the Mass Transfer and Separation chapter, and includes fundamentals of biochemical reaction engineering in the Basic Principles of Chemical Reaction Engineering chapter. The appendices at the end of the book contain references, a bilingual glossary of chemical engineering terms, answers to selected exercises, and frequently used tables. This book can serve as a textbook or teaching reference for chemical engineering fundamentals in applied chemistry and chemistry programs at comprehensive universities and normal universities.
