Engineering is one of the key elements in the education industry today. The demand, the need, and the thirst for the attainment of this degree as well as for the need of engineers are growing exponentially with leaps and bounds. It is one filed of science that caters to various industries and fields like architecture, biotechnology, civil, environmental, industrial, chemical, aerospace, electrical, computer, bioengineering, and many more. All these fields of engineering have their distinctive courses, researches, and outcomes but the key responsibility of an engineer is the same in all cases. The key role of an engineer is to improve living standards by improving and innovating variety of things around.
Chemical Product Design
The chemical industry is changing, going beyond commodity chemicals to a palette of higher value added products. This groundbreaking book, now revised and expanded, documents this change and shows how to meet the challenges implied. Presenting a four-step design process – needs, ideas, selection, manufacture – the authors supply readers with a simple design template that can be applied to a wide variety of products. Four new chapters on commodities, devices, molecules/drugs and microstructures show how this template can be applied to products including oxygen for emphysema patients, pharmaceuticals like taxol, dietary supplements like lutein, and beverages which are more satisfying. For different groups of products the authors supply both strategies for design and summaries of relevant science. Economic analysis is expanded, emphasizing the importance of speed-to-market, selling ideas to investors and an expectation of limited time in the market. Extra examples, homework problems and a solutions manual are available.
Introduction to Chemical Processes: Principles, Analysis, Synthesis
Introduction to Chemical Processes: Principles, Analysis, Synthesis enhances student understanding of the connection between the chemistry and the process. Users will find strong coverage of chemistry, gain a solid understanding of what chemical processes do (convert raw materials into useful products using energy and other resources), and learn about the ways in which chemical engineers make decisions and balance constraints to come up with new processes and products. The author presents material and energy balances as tools to achieve a real goal: workable, economical, and safe chemical processes and products. » Read more: Introduction to Chemical Processes: Principles, Analysis, Synthesis
