Introduction to Chemical Engineering – For Chemical Engineers and Students

The most comprehensive description available of chemical engineering, its concept, principles, current areas of applications, real-world design case study, computer tools, future trends and the unique roles its frontiers play towards sustainability.

The field of chemical engineering is undergoing a global "renaissance," with new processes, equipment, and sources changing literally every day. It is a dynamic, important area of study and the basis for some of the most lucrative and integral fields of science. Introduction to Chemical Engineering offers a comprehensive overview of the concepts, principles and applications of chemical engineering. It explains the basis of chemical engineering technology, which gave rise to a broad industry that is still growing.

The book serves as a conduit between college education and real-world chemical engineering practice. It answers many questions students and young engineers often ask which include: How is what I studied in the classroom being applied in the industrial setting? What steps do I need to take to become a professional chemical engineer? What are the career diversities in chemical engineering and the engineering knowledge required? How is chemical engineering design done in real-world? What are the chemical engineering computer tools and their applications? What are the prospects, present and future challenges of chemical engineering? And so on.

It also provides the information new chemical engineering hires would need to excel. It is expected that this book will enhance student's understanding and performance in the field and the development of the profession worldwide. Whether a new hire engineer or a veteran in the field, this is a must have volume for any chemical engineer's library.
