Rice R.G., Do D.D. Applied Mathematics and Modeling for Chemical Engineers

Academic Press, 1999. - 479 pages. This is Volume 1 of PROCESS SYSTEMS ENGINEERING, A Series edited by George Stephanopoulos and John Perkins Mathematical modeling is the art and craft of building a system of equations that is both sufficiently complex to do justice to physical reality and sufficiently simple to give real insight into the situation. Mathematical Modeling: A Chemical Engineer's Perspective provides an elementary introduction to...

Cambridge University Press, 2006. - 486 pages. Suitable for a first year graduate course, this textbook unites the applications of numerical mathematics and scientific computing to the practice of chemical engineering. Written in a pedagogic style, the book describes basic linear and nonlinear algebraic systems all the way through to stochastic methods, Bayesian statistics and parameter estimation. These subjects are developed at a level of math...

Gulf Professional Publishing, Houston, Texas, 2001, Pages: 1095 Selecting the best type of reactor for any particular chemical reaction, taking into consideration safety, hazard analysis, scale-up, and many other factors is essential to any industrial problem. An understanding of chemical reaction kinetics and the design of chemical reactors is key to the success of the of the chemist and the chemical engineer in such an endeavor. This valuable...

Prentice Hall, 1999. - 587 pages. This book emphasizes the derivation of a variety of numerical methods and their application to the solution of engineering problems, with special attention to problems in the chemical engineering field. These algorithms encompass linear and nonlinear algebraic equations, eigenvalue problems, finite difference methods, interpolation, differentiation and integration, ordinary differential equations, boundary-value...

Nova Science Publishers, 2009. - 91 pages. Mathematical modelling is a powerful tool for solving optimisation problems in chemical engineering. In this work several models are proposed aimed at helping to make decisions about different aspects of the processes lifecycle, from the synthesis and design steps up to the operation and scheduling. Using an example of the Sugar Cane industry, several models are formulated and solved in order to assess...

CRC Press; 1st edition. 2000. 462p This book determines adjustable parameters in mathematical models that describe steady state or dynamic systems, presenting the most important optimization methods used for parameter estimation. It focuses on the Gauss-Newton method and its modifications for systems and processes represented by algebraic or differential equation models.
