Fundamentals And Modeling Of Separation Processes Absorption Distillation Evaporation And Extraction

Fundamentals and Modeling of Separation Processes: Absorption, Distillation, Evaporation, and Extraction

European Symposium on Computer Aided Process Engineering - 12

This book contains 182 papers presented at the 12th Symposium of Computer Aided Process Engineering (ESCAPE-12), held in The Hague, The Netherlands, May 26-29, 2002. The objective of ESCAPE-12 is to highlight advances made in the development and use of computing methodologies and information technology in the area of Computer Aided Process Engineering and Process Systems Engineering. The Symposium addressed six themes: (1) Integrated Product&Process Design; (2) Process Synthesis & Plant Design; (3) Process Dynamics & Control; (4) Manufacturing & Process Operations; (5) Computational Technologies; (6) Sustainable CAPE Education and Careers for Chemical Engineers. These themes cover the traditional core activities of CAPE, and also some wider conceptual perspectives, such as the increasing interplay between product and process design arising from the often complex internal structures of modern products; the integration of production chains creating the network structure of the process industry and optimization over life span dimensions, taking sustainability as the ultimate driver.

CHEMICAL PROCESS CALCULATIONS

The present textbook is written for undergraduate students of chemical engineering as per the syllabus framed by AICTE curriculum. It explains the basic chemical process principles in a lucid manner. SI units, chemical stoichiometry and measures of composition, behaviour of gases, vapour pressure of pure substances, and humidity and saturation are covered in detail. In addition, mass and energy balances of chemical processes have also been described. Chemical processes without chemical reactions include fluid flow, mixing, evaporation distillation, absorption and stripping, liquid–liquid extraction, leaching and washing, adsorption, drying, crystallization and membrane separation process. SALIENT FEATURES • Description of all concepts and principles with a rich pedagogy for easy understanding • Correct use of SI units • Over 270 solved examples for understanding the basic concepts • Answers to all chapter-end numerical problems for checking the accuracy of calculations TARGET AUDIENCE • BE/B.Tech (Chemical Engineering)
