 | For Chemical Engineers and Students By Uche Nnaji Copyright: 2020 | Expected Pub Date: // ISBN: 9781119592105 | Hardcover | 365 pages Price: $225 USD  |
One Line Description
The most comprehensive description available of chemical engineering, its concept, principles, current areas of applications, real-world design case study, computer tools, future trends and the unique roles its frontiers play towards sustainability.
Audience
Chemical engineers, chemists, process engineers, and chemical engineering students and faculty across many disciplines
Chemical engineers, chemists, process engineers, and chemical engineering students and faculty across many disciplines
Description
The field of chemical engineering is undergoing a global “renaissance,” with new processes, equipment, and sources changing literally every day. It is a dynamic, important area of study and the basis for some of the most lucrative and integral fields of science. Introduction to Chemical Engineering offers a comprehensive overview of the concept, principles and applications of chemical engineering. It explains the distinct chemical engineering knowledge which gave rise to a general-purpose technology and broadest engineering field.
The book serves as a conduit between college education and the real-world chemical engineering practice. It answers many questions students and young engineers often ask which include: How is what I studied in the classroom being applied in the industrial setting? What steps do I need to take to become a professional chemical engineer? What are the career diversities in chemical engineering and the engineering knowledge required? How is chemical engineering design done in real-world? What are the chemical engineering computer tools and their applications? What are the prospects, present and future challenges of chemical engineering? And so on.
It also provides the information new chemical engineering hires would need to excel and cross the critical novice engineer stage of their career. It is expected that this book will enhance students understanding and performance in the field and the development of the profession worldwide. Whether a new-hire engineer or a veteran in the field, this is a must—have volume for any chemical engineer’s library.
