- The practical, hands-on problem-solving resource for every chemical and biochemical engineer or student
- Focuses on three powerful, complementary tools: POLYMATH, Microsoft Excel, and MATLAB
Problem Solving in Chemical and Biochemical Engineering with POLYMATH, Excel, and MATLAB, Second Edition, will help any professional or student become more effective at solving chemical and biochemical engineering problems with PC-based mathematical software. It brings together extensive practical guidance, plus dozens of examples, problems, and solutions addressing today's core challenges in chemical engineering, biochemical engineering, and related disciplines. The authors' integrated approach focuses on three widely-used software packages: POLYMATH, Excel, and MATLAB. They clearly develop all problems and solutions utilizing fundamental principles, and an equation-oriented approach specifically designed to facilitate software-based problem-solving. New problems show how to leverage these tools' most powerful capabilities, and integrate them for even greater efficiency. All data is included, all key equations are presented or derived, and many complete solutions are provided. Coverage includes- Single nonlinear algebraic equations
- Systems of linear algebraic equations
- Linear and polynomial regression
- Systems of ordinary differential equations
- Data analysis and regression using advanced statistical techniques
- Systems of nonlinear algebraic equations
- Optimization with constraints
- Twopoint boundary value problems
- Systems of differential-algebraic equations
- Partial differential equations
Engineering topics include- Chemical reaction engineering
- Phase equilibria and distillation
- Process dynamics and control, and more
The companion Web site provides downloads of all data files and custom programs as well as more problems, resources, updates, and corrections.
