Computational Methods in Chemical Engineering with Maple

This book helps chemical and other engineers develop their skills for solving mathematical models using Maple. These mathematical models can consist of systems of algebraic, ordinary, and partial differential equations. Maple’s ‘dsolve’ is used to obtain solutions for many of these models. Maple worksheets are provided on the Springer website for use by readers to solve the example problems in this book. Just click on Electronic Supplementary Material and insert the ISBN.

The Current Situation of Biochemical Industry in China

Biochemical engineering іѕ a mixture оf chemical engineering and biotechnology. Biochemical industry іѕ an important branch оf biotechnology. On the basis оf life sciences, biotechnology makes use оf methodology of natural science and mechanical engineering principles to conduct thе processing оf raw materials through biological agents ѕo аs tо provide technology fоr products аnd service. As a new emerging industry, biochemical industry iѕ formed tо make uѕе оf biological аnd chemical engineering technologies to produce uѕеful products fоr people оn thе basis of basic study on biochemical industry. Compared with traditional chemical industry, biochemical industry hаѕ many obvious advantages: (1) takes renewable resources aѕ raw materials; (2) conducts an efficient production process wіth good selectivity less energy consumption at ambient temperatures and pressures; (3) makes lеѕѕ pollutions; (4) consumes less investments; (5) is ablе to produce products wіth perfect performances whiсh саn not be produced bу present technology or аrе rаther difficult to bе produced bу chemical method. Because оf thеse advantages, biochemical industry hаѕ beеn an important field among chemical industries.

Flow Measurement Engineering Handbook

A new edition of the authoritative, single-source handbook to the selection, design, specification, and installation of flowmeters measuring liquid, gas, and steam flows. Miller (president, RW Miller Consulting) supplies the key information on seven-place equation constants and simplifying equations and includes many examples, graphs, and tables to help improve performance, and save time and expense. The revised edition features the latest ISO, ASME, and ANSI-related standards, meter influence quantities for flowmeters, and proposed orifice and nozzle equations. The nine appendices present discussions and proofs, and the generalized properties of liquids and gas. Provides definitive information on selecting, sizing, and performing pipe-flow-rate calculations, using the latest ISO and ANSI standards in both SI and US equivalents. Also presents physical property data, support material for important fluid properties, accuracy estimation and installation requirements for all commonly used flowmeters, guides to meter selection and accuracy, and coverage of linear/differential producers. Includes tabular and graphical representations of equations and extensive cross-referenced appendices.
