Chemical Engineering Dynamics, 3rd Ed

The aim of this book is to teach the use of modelling and simulation as a discipline for the understanding of chemical engineering processes and their dynamics. This is done via a combination of basic modelling theory and computer simulation examples, which are used to emphasise basic principles and to demonstrate the cause-and-effect phenomena in complex models.

The examples are based on the use of a powerful and easy-to-use simulation language, called BERKELEY-MADONNA, that was already successfully used in the second edition of this book. Developed at the University of California for Windows and Macintosh, MADONNA represents almost all we have ever wanted in simulation software for teaching. The many programmed examples demonstrate simple modelling procedures that can be used to represent a wide range of chemical and chemical engineering process phenomena. The study of the examples, by direct computer experimentation, has been shown to lead to a positive improvement in the understanding of physical systems and confidence in the ability to deal with chemical rate processes. Quite simple models can often give realistic representations of process phenomena. The methods described in the text are applicable to a range of differing applications, including process identification, the analysis and design of
experiments, process design and optimisation, process control and plant safety, all of which are essential aspects of modern chemical technology.
