This book explores effective modeling and simulation approaches for solving equations. This book explains the simplification of a complicated process at various levels with the help of a "model sketch." The second edition covers modeling of multi-stage processes, multi-stage, multi-phase systems with thermodynamic processes including reactive distillation. Further, process intensification is added with modeling of electrochemical processes. A chapter on batch processes in filtration, adsorption and batch reactors is included backed by case studies.
- Presents a systematic approach of model development in view of the simulation need
- Discusses modeling techniques to model hydrodynamics, mass and heat transfer, and reactors for single as well as multi-phase/multi-phase system
- Explores diffusion based on Stefan-Maxwell theory including principal component analysis
- Reviews dynamics models covering process dynamics
- Includes enhanced case studies to illustrate simulations including ANN and DWSIM
This book is aimed at senior undergraduate and graduate students in chemical, biochemical and environmental engineering.
