Chemical Process Modelling and Computer Simulation

The chemical process industries are faced with an increasingly competitive environment, ever-changing market conditions, and government regulations. Notwithstanding these constraints, the industries have to continuously keep on increasing their productivity and profitability for survival in the market. In order to achieve the goal, it is most important that the chemical plants are operated with optimum efficiency in spite of the different constraints confronting them. This thoroughly revised book, now in its second edition, continues to provide the fundamental concepts of how mathematical models of chemical processes are constructed, and demonstrate the applications of these models to the simulation of two of the very important chemical engineering systems—the chemical reactors and distillation systems.
The book is primarily designed for senior level undergraduate and first-year postgraduate level courses in “Chemical Process Modelling and Simulation”. It will also be useful for the students of petrochemical engineering, biotechnology, and biochemical engineering.
