Book description
A problem-solving approach that helps students master new material
and put their knowledge into practice
The Second Edition of the acclaimed Principles and Modern
Applications of Mass Transfer Operations continues to provide a
thorough, accessible text that gives students the support and the
tools they need to quickly move from theory to application. This
latest edition has been thoroughly revised and updated with new
discussions of such developing topics as membrane separations, ion
exchange, multistage batch distillation, and chromatography and other
adsorptive processes. Moreover, the Second Edition now covers
mass transfer phenomena in biological systems, making the text
appropriate for students in biochemical engineering as well as
chemical engineering.
Complementing the author's clear discussions are several features
that help students quickly master new material and put their knowledge
into practice, including:
-
Twenty-five to thirty problems at the end of each chapter that
enable students to use their newfound knowledge to solve problems
-
Examples and problems that help students become proficient
working with Mathcad
-
Figures and diagrams that illustrate and clarify complex
concepts and processes
-
References facilitating further in-depth research into
particular topics
-
Ten appendices filled with helpful data and reference materials
Ideal for a first course in mass transfer operations, this text has
proven to be invaluable to students in chemical and environmental
engineering as well as researchers and university faculty.
Jaime Benítez, PhD, has been teaching mass
transfer operations to chemical engineers for some thirty-two years.
Dr. Benítez is a Professor in the Chemical Engineering Department of
the University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez.
