Basic principles and calculations in chemical engineering / David M. Himmelblau, James B. Riggs. - Ninth edition. - 1017 pages ; 25 cm. - International series in the physical and chemical engineering sciences .
About our authors David M. Himmelblau was the Paul D. and Betty Robertson Meek and American Petrofina Foundation Centennial Professor Emeritus in Chemical Engineering at the University of Texas, where he taught for forty-two years. He authored eleven books and more than two hundred articles on process analysis, fault detection, and optimization. He was president of the CACHE Corporation and director of the AIChE. James B. Riggs was a university professor for thirty years. Twenty-five of those years were spent at Texas Tech University, where he founded and directed the Texas Tech Process Control and Optimization Consortium. He authored several popular textbooks, including Computational Methods for Chemical Engineers; Programming with MATLAB for Engineers; and Chemical and Bio-Process Control, Fifth Edition.

Introduction. Introduction to chemical engineering ; Introductory concepts
Material balances. Material balances ; Material balances with chemical reaction ; Material balances for multiunit processes
Gases, vapors, and liquids. Ideal and real gases ; Multiphase equilibrium
Energy balances. Energy balances without reaction ; Energy balances with reaction
Combined material and energy balances. Humidity (psychrometric) charts ; Unsteady-state material and energy balances ; Heats of solution and mixing ; Liquids and gases in equilibrium with solids ; Solving material and energy balances using process simulators (flowsheeting codes)
Supplementary material. Appendixes
"Basic Principles and Calculations in Chemical Engineering, Ninth Edition, has been thoroughly revised, streamlined, and updated to reflect sweeping changes in the chemical engineering field. This introductory guide addresses the full scope of contemporary chemical, petroleum, and environmental engineering applications and contains extensive new coverage and examples related to biotech, nanotech, green/environmental engineering, and process safety, with many new MATLAB and Python problems throughout. Authors David M. Himmelblau and James B. Riggs offer a strong foundation of skills and knowledge for successful study and practice, guiding students through formulating and solving material and energy balance problems, as well as describing gases, liquids, and vapors. Throughout, they introduce efficient, consistent, learner-friendly ways to solve problems, analyze data, and gain a conceptual, application-based understanding of modern processes. This edition condenses coverage from previous editions to serve today's students and faculty more efficiently. In two entirely new chapters, the authors provide a comprehensive introduction to dynamic material and energy balances, as well as psychrometric charts"--
