Modeling with Differential Equations in Chemical Engineering

Booknews

Covers the modeling of rate processes of engineering in terms of differential equations. Following a detailed presentation of methods for solving major equations of engineering and applied science by analytical and numerical means, a key chapter is devoted to the principles of mathematical modeling. These principles are then applied to the equations in important engineering areas, the major disciplines covered being thermodynamics, diffusion and mass transfer, heat transfer, fluid dynamics, chemical reactions, and automatic control. Included are many solved problems and problems for solution by the reader. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
