Process Modelling and Simulation in Chemical, Biochemical and Environmental Engineering

Beschreibung

This book explores effective modeling and simulation approaches for solving equations. This book explains the simplification of a complicated process at various levels with the help of a "model sketch." The second edition covers modeling of multi-stage processes, multi-stage, multi-phase systems with thermodynamic processes including reactive distillation. Further, process intensification is added with modeling of electrochemical processes. A chapter on batch processes in filtration, adsorption and batch reactors is included backed by case studies. * Presents a systematic approach of model development in view of the simulation need * Discusses modeling techniques to model hydrodynamics, mass and heat transfer, and reactors for single as well as multi-phase/multi-phase system * Explores diffusion based on Stefan-Maxwell theory including principal component analysis * Reviews dynamics models covering process dynamics * Includes enhanced case studies to illustrate simulations including ANN and DWSIM This book is aimed at senior undergraduate and graduate students in chemical, biochemical and environmental engineering.

Rezensionen

"Overall, the material covered is good. The need for mathematical modeling and simulation, the basic steps involved in the development of mathematical modeling and simulation, and validation of the models are highlighted a systematic way. For large number of situations, the associated mathematical model equations with the relevant boundary conditions/initial conditions are given. The analytical solutions, wherever possible, are given. For situations requiring numerical solutions, MATLAB® programs are given. There is a good presentation of the subject materials. The book can be recommended for two courses: one at the undergraduate level (chapters 1 to 4 and 9), and one at the post-graduate level (chapters 5 to 11)."
-Dr. M. Chidambaram, Indian Institute of Technology Madras

"A thorough book on modeling and simulation for different engineering fields that is augmented by case studies from a wide range of applications."
-Jadran Vrabec, Mechanical Engineering, University of Paderborn, Germany

"The strength of the book is the diversity of topics covered starting with models based on simple laws and conservation laws illustrated for multiphase systems without and with reaction. ...The whole picture of process modeling and simulation ends with the last chapter on simulation of large plants."
-Alirio E. Rodrigues, The Faculdade de Engenharia da Universidade do Porto, Portugal
