Features: This book takes the fundamental theories of chemical engineering transport processes and engineering methodology as two main threads, systematically discussing the basic principles of chemical engineering unit operations, basic calculation methods, structural characteristics and operational features of typical equipment. The book is published in two volumes. Volume 1, in addition to the introduction and appendices, includes fluid flow, fluid transportation, relative motion between particles and fluids (settling, filtration, fluidization, etc.), fluid agitation, heat transfer, and evaporation. Volume 2 includes distillation, absorption, extraction (liquid-liquid extraction, liquid-solid leaching, supercritical extraction), drying, and other separation technologies (adsorption, crystallization, membrane separation, etc.). Each chapter includes numerous examples, and at the end of each chapter, there are study guides, exercises, and discussion questions. This textbook strives for rigorous concepts, linking theory with practice, highlighting the characteristics of engineering disciplines, emphasizing the inspiration of thinking, guiding innovation, and facilitating self-study. The book includes six parts: fluid flow, fluid transport machinery, separation of heterogeneous mixtures, solid fluidization, liquid agitation, heat transfer, and evaporation.
