Description
For upper-level undergraduate chemical engineering courses in Chemical Engineering Process Design, an A.B.E.T. requirement.
Designed to help chemical engineering students make the transition from solving well-posed problems in a specific subject to integrating and applying all the knowledge they have gained to solving open-ended process problems. It is intended to help students hone their design skills through process design, rather than plant design and move them toward becoming practicing engineers. In that way, the book takes a systems- oriented approach, rather than to simply provide a compendium of design information.
