Are you a Chemical Engineering student or young professional looking for a down-to-earth handbook/quick guide on applying mass balances?
Books in the field of engineering can be heavy to get through, and the valuable information often comes wrapped in unnecessary details. The goal of this book is to provide concise and to-the-point knowledge and skills for applying mass balances to simple and complex real-life engineering systems. Mass balances are foundational to fully grasp more advanced subjects, such as fluid mechanics, heat transfer, pump and reactor design, and more. In this book, the concepts of systems and mass balances are introduced in a direct fashion. Many practical calculation examples and assignments are included to turn theoretical knowledge into a practical skill set.
