An invaluable guide for problem solving in mass transfer
operations
This book takes a highly pragmatic approach to providing the
principles and applications of mass transfer operations by offering
a valuable, easily accessible guide to solving engineering
problems. Both traditional and novel mass transfer processes
receive treatment. As with all of the books in this series,
emphasis is placed on an example-based approach to illustrating key
engineering concepts.
The book is divided into two major parts. It starts with the
principles underlying engineering problems--showing readers how
to apply general engineering principles to the topic of mass
transfer operations. It then goes on to provide step-by-step
guidance for traditional mass transfer operations, including
distillation, absorption and stripping, and adsorption, plus novel
mass transfer processes. Essential topics for professional
engineering exams are also covered.
Geared towards chemical, environmental, civil, and mechanical
engineers working on real-world industrial applications, Mass
Transfer Operations for the Practicing Engineer features:
* Numerous sample problems and solutions with real-world
applications
* Clear, precise explanations on how to carry out the basic
calculations associated with mass transfer operations
* Coverage of topics from the ground up for readers without prior
knowledge of the subject
* Overview of topics relevant to the ABET (Accreditation Board for
Engineering and Technology) for those taking the Professional
Engineering (PE) exams
* Appendix containing relevant mass transfer operation charts and
tables
