Separation Process Engineering: Includes Mass Transfer Analysis (Prentice Hall International Series in the Physical and Chemical Engineering Sciences)

<b>The Definitive, Fully Updated Guide to Separation Process Engineering€“Now with a Thorough Introduction to Mass Transfer Analysis <p style="margin: 0px;"> </p> </b> <p style="margin: 0px;"> </p> <p style="margin: 0px;"> <b> <i>Separation Process Engineering, Third Edition,</i> </b> is the most comprehensive, accessible guide available on modern separation processes and the fundamentals of mass transfer. Phillip C. Wankat teaches each key concept through detailed, realistic examples using real data€“including up-to-date simulation practice and new spreadsheet-based exercises.</p> <p style="margin: 0px;"> </p> <p style="margin: 0px;">Wankat thoroughly covers each of today€s leading approaches, including flash, column, and batch distillation; exact calculations and shortcut methods for multicomponent distillation; staged and packed column design; absorption; stripping; and more. In this edition, he also presents the latest design methods for liquid-liquid extraction. This edition contains the most detailed coverage available of membrane separations and of sorption separations (adsorption, chromatography, and ion exchange).</p> <p style="margin: 0px;"> </p> <p style="margin: 0px;">Updated with new techniques and references throughout, <i> <b>Separation Process Engineering, Third Edition,</b> </i> also contains more than 300 new homework problems, each tested in the author€s Purdue University classes.</p> <p style="margin: 0px;"> </p> <p style="margin: 0px;">Coverage includes</p> <ul> <li>Modular, up-to-date process simulation examples and homework problems, based on Aspen Plus and easily adaptable to any simulator</li> <li>Extensive new coverage of mass transfer and diffusion, including both Fickian and Maxwell-Stefan approaches</li> <li>Detailed discussions of liquid-liquid extraction, including McCabe-Thiele, triangle and computer simulation analyses; mixer-settler design; Karr columns; and related mass transfer analyses</li> <li>Thorough introductions to adsorption, chromatography, and ion exchange€“designed to prepare students for advanced work in these areas</li> <li>Complete coverage of membrane separations, including gas permeation, reverse osmosis, ultrafiltration, pervaporation, and key applications</li> <li>A full chapter on economics and energy conservation in distillation</li> <li>Excel spreadsheets offering additional practice with problems in distillation, diffusion, mass transfer, and membrane separation</li> </ul> <p style="margin: 0px;"> </p>
