The comprehensive, unified, up-to-date guide to transport and separation processes Today, chemical engineering professionals need a thorough understanding of momentum, heat, and mass transfer processes, as well as separation processes. Transport Processes and Separation Process Principles, Fourth Edition offers a unified and up-to-date treatment of all these topics. Thoroughly updated to reflect the field's latest methods and applications, it covers both fundamental principles and practical applications. Part 1 covers the essential principles underlying transport processes: momentum transfer; steady-state and unsteady-state heat transfer; and mass transfer, including both unsteady-state and convective mass transfer. Part 2 covers key separation processes, including evaporation, drying, humidification, absorption, distillation, adsorption, ion exchange, extraction, leaching, crystallization, dialysis, gas membrane separation, reverse osmosis, filtration, ultrafiltration, microfiltration, settling, centrifugal separation, and more. This edition's extensive updates and enhancements include: A more thorough coverage of momentum, heat, and mass transport processesDetailed new coverage of separation process applicationsGreatly expanded coverage of momentum transfer, including fluidized beds and non-Newtonian fluids More detailed discussions of mass transfer, absorption, distillation, liquid-liquid extraction, and crystallization Extensive new coverage of membrane separation processes and gas-membrane theory Transport Processes and Separation Process Principles, Fourth Edition also features more than 240 example problems and over 550 homework problems reflecting the field's current methods and applications.

More unified introduction to the transport processes of momentum, heat, and mass transfer and to the applications of separation processes. Enables the student who must study so many topics today to better understand their interrelationships.Expanded sections on momentum transfer—Especially in the sections on fluidized beds and non-Newtonian fluids. Presents topics that are especially important in the chemical engineering field.Material has been added to the chapters on mass transfer. Allows a fundamental understanding of the theory of separation processes.Chapters on absorption, distillation, and liquid-liquid extraction have been enlarged. Exposes the student to the newer applications in these separation processes.Membrane separation processes chapter has been greatly expanded especially for gas-membrane theory. Gives the student knowledge in these newly expanding membrane processes.
