Accurate thermodynamic models are essential to any chemical engineering endeavor. In this presentation, Cummings reviews some of the more important developments in the history of thermodynamics; from Gibbs and van der Waals in the nineteenth century, to the statistical mechanicians of the twentieth...
The study of transport phenomena is an important area of chemical engineering. In many ways it differentiates chemical engineering from other disciplines, such as biomedical and material engineering. In this lecture, Dr. Morton Denn tracks the development of transport in the chemical engineering...
This book is unique as the first effort to expound on the subject of systematic scaling analysis. Not written for a specific discipline, the book targets any reader interested in transport phenomena and reaction processes. The book is logically divided into chapters on the use of systematic scaling...
Created for engineers and students working with pure polymers and polymer solutions, this handbook provides up-to-date, easy to use methods to obtain specific volumes and phase equilibrium data. A comprehensive database for the phase equilibria of a wide range of polymer-solvent systems, and PVT...
Expertise in electrolyte systems has become increasingly important in traditional CPI operations, as well as in oil/gas exploration and production. This book is the source for predicting electrolyte systems behavior, an indispensable "do-it-yourself" guide, with a blueprint for formulating...
This on line course is designed for technicians in the chemical industry, non-chemical engineers involved who work with or supervise chemical engineers, and legal and other professions who must interact with or manage chemical engineering work.
This methodology can be used to calculate vapor-liquid equilibria (VLE) between thiols and hydrocarbons at any composition, temperature or pressure to improve gasoline fractionation processes.
Selecting a thermodynamic model is an important step in process simulation — one that many engineers overlook. This overview of applied thermodynamics can help you choose the right model for your process.
If you work in a chemical-processing facility and need an overview of the basic mechanics and chemistry behind the process equipment you work with on a daily basis, this course is for you.
