Informationen zum Autor GEORGE DeLANCEY, PhD, is Professor Emeritus in the Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science at Stevens Institute of Technology. He has more than forty years experience in chemical engineering education, having taught process analysis and process control in the undergraduate school. He has twice been the recipient of the Outstanding Teacher Award at Stevens. He has served as Senior Academic Advisor to the International Programs Office at Stevens with curriculum development responsibilities in gas and plastics engineering and technology programs at the Algerian Petroleum Institute. Dr. DeLancey has more than thirty publications in the areas of multicomponent mass and energy transfer with chemical reaction, interfacial mass and energy transfer in gas-liquid systems, and chemical engineering education and assessment. Klappentext Enables chemical engineering students to bridge theory and practiceIntegrating scientific principles with practical engineering experience, this text enables readers to master the fundamentals of chemical processing and apply their knowledge of such topics as material and energy balances, transport phenomena, reactor design, and separations across a broad range of chemical industries. The author skillfully guides readers step by step through the execution of both chemical process analysis and equipment design.Principles of Chemical Engineering Practice is divided into two sections: the Macroscopic View and the Microscopic View. The Macroscopic View examines equipment design and behavior from the vantage point of inlet and outlet conditions. The Microscopic View is focused on the equipment interior resulting from conditions prevailing at the equipment boundaries. As readers progress through the text, they'll learn to master such chemical engineering operations and equipment as:* Separators to divide a mixture into parts with desirable concentrations* Reactors to produce chemicals with needed properties* Pressure changers to create favorable equilibrium and rate conditions* Temperature changers and heat exchangers to regulate and change the temperature of process streamsThroughout the book, the author sets forth examples that refer to a detailed simulation of a process for the manufacture of acrylic acid that provides a unifying thread for equipment sizing in context. The manufacture of hexyl glucoside provides a thread for process design and synthesis.Presenting basic thermodynamics, Principles of Chemical Engineering Practice enables students in chemical engineering and related disciplines to master and apply the fundamentals and to proceed to more advanced studies in chemical engineering. "The author, a professor emeritus of chemical engineering at Stevens Institute of Technology, guides readers step by step through the execution of both chemical process analysis and equipment design, allowing readers to master such chemical engineering operations and equipment as separators, reactors, heat exchangers, and more." ("Chemical Engineering Progress", 1 September 2013) Zusammenfassung This book provides an introduction to chemical engineering topics in an integrated fashion and illustrates the methodology of process design through the processes followed in the text. It provides an all-in-one coverage of topics from process plant interactions to economic analyses and thermodynamic properties of streams.
