Elements of Chemical Reaction Engineering: Mole Balances Feb 12, 2016 This chapter from Elements of Chemical Reaction Engineering, 5th Edition develops the first building block of chemical reaction engineering, mole balances, which will be used continually throughout the text. After completing this chapter, you will be able to describe and define the rate of reaction, derive the general mole balance equation, and apply the general mole balance equation to the four most common types of industrial reactors.

Scope and Language of Thermodynamics Oct 30, 2012 Themis Matsoukas details the specifics of thermodynamics as they relate to chemical engineering.

What Are Chemical Engineering and Bioengineering? Aug 7, 2012 Learn about features of the professions of chemical and bioengineering, including an overview of the history of these fields, where graduates of these programs go to work, and types of projects in which chemical and bioengineers might participate now and in the future.

Diagrams for Understanding Chemical Processes Jul 3, 2012 This chapter covers different types of chemical process diagrams, how these diagrams represent different scales of process views, one consistent method for drawing process flow diagrams, the information to be included in a process flow diagram, and the purpose of operator training simulators and recent advances in 3-D representation of different chemical processes.

Introductory Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics: Basic Concepts Mar 8, 2012 The authors introduce the two basic premises of the first and second "laws" of thermodynamics: overall energy is conserved (you can't get something for nothing) and overall entropy changes are greater than or equal to zero (generation of disorder results in lost work).

Introduction to Chemical Process Safety Jul 6, 2011 As chemical process technology becomes more complex, chemical engineers will need a more detailed and fundamental understanding of safety. The authors of this book set out the fundamentals of chemical process safety in this introduction.

Essentials of Chemical Reaction Engineering: Mole Balances Nov 22, 2010 Chemical Reaction Engineering (CRE) principles can be applied in many areas, such as modeling smog in the L.A. basin, understanding the digestive system of a hippopotamus, or using wetlands to degrade toxic chemicals. This chapter develops the first building block of chemical reaction engineering, mole balances.

Diagrams for Understanding Chemical Processes Mar 25, 2009 It is essential that chemical engineers be able to communicate visually in order to avoid potentially serious consequences.This chapter covers diagrams for understanding chemical processes.
