Features: This book is an introductory text on chemical process analysis and design. It is divided into six chapters. After introducing fundamental concepts of chemical engineering, it presents three methods for scaling up chemical process analysis and design through numerous industrial application examples: the mathematical model method, graphical analysis method, and dimensional analysis method. The examples listed in each chapter cover a wide range of chemical engineering concepts, and more importantly, they involve emerging disciplines such as environmental protection, energy, green chemistry, and biotechnology, making the content highly innovative. Each chapter also includes exercises to help readers test their knowledge and apply it flexibly, reinforcing the goal of engineering application. The authors are renowned chemical engineering professors in the United States, with extensive knowledge and experience. Therefore, this book is suitable as a professional introductory textbook for students of chemical engineering and related disciplines, as well as a teaching reference for students in higher vocational and secondary technical schools in chemical engineering. It can also serve as a reference for chemical engineering professionals and designers.
