Book description
This
Second Edition
of the go-to reference combines the classical analysis and modern
applications of applied mathematics for chemical engineers. The book
introduces traditional techniques for solving ordinary differential
equations (ODEs), adding new material on approximate solution methods
such as perturbation techniques and elementary numerical solutions. It
also includes analytical methods to deal with important classes of
finite-difference equations. The last half discusses numerical solution
techniques and partial differential equations (PDEs). The reader will
then be equipped to apply mathematics in the formulation of problems in
chemical engineering. Like the first edition, there are many examples
provided as homework and worked examples.
RICHARD G. RICE, PhD, is Emeritus Professor at Louisiana State
University and widely published in the areas of chemical separations
and two-phase flow.
DUONG D. DO, PhD, is University Professor at the University of
Queensland, Australia, and is well-known in the area of adsorption
science.
