Upload by GGG

ULLMANN’S Chemical Engineering and Plant Design, Volume 1, presents “Mathematics and Physics in Chemical Engineering” as a structured reference for chemical engineering fundamentals. The contents outline mathematics for modeling, mathematical and computational approaches, and key transport and fluid mechanics topics, followed by experimentation design and computational fluid dynamics. It further covers reactor-related modeling equations and extends into physical property estimation, materials, corrosion, mechanical testing, and monitoring of chemical reactions, supporting both industrial and academic process and safety work.

V Preface Since the unabridged 40-volume Ullmann’s Encyclopedia is inaccessible to many readers – particularly individuals, smaller companies or institutes – all the information on chemical engineering and plant design has been condensed into this convenient two-volume set. Based on the very latest print edition of Ullmann’s, this ready reference is the one-stop resource for the plant design engineering community. Starting with the quantitative treatment and fundamentals of chemical engineering, it combines all aspects of process development and reactor technology, as well as detailing their practical applications in sections devoted to plant design, scale-up and plant safety. Each of the detailed and carefully edited articles is written by relevant experts from industry or academia. A keyword and an author index complete the contents of this handbook. Throughout, readers beneﬁt from the rigorous and cross-indexed nature of the parent reference, andwill ﬁnd both broad introductory information as well as in-depth details of signiﬁcance to industrial and academic environments.
