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. Minimize

This monograph is a highly technical analysis of the interaction of two phases in controlled experiments. By using a perforated plate and stirred tank, Dr Azbel has conducted experiments involving flow, mass bubbling, mass transfer during bubbling and in a liquid-solid system and the calculation of bubbling reactors for the two-phase oxidation reaction. The last chapter investigates the design of a reactor for microbiological processes. The behaviour of bubbles is a unifying theme of this book. From an explanation of the fundamentals of bubbles formation at a single orifice, Dr Azbel goes on to set up equations for bubble motion, bubble size, bubble-size distribution and pressure drop across a perforated plate. His treatment of bubbles is expanded in later chapters to include mass transfer in the dispersion of solid particles in a liquid and mass transfer accompanied by chemical reactions in a bubble dispersion system.

Most chemical companies now devote new resources to the design and manufacture of specialty, high-value-added chemical products such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and electronic coatings. The training of chemical engineers has remained static, however, emphasizing traditional commodities. This ground breaking text redresses the balance between commodities and higher-value-added products. It expands the scope of chemical engineering design to encompass both process design and product design. The authors use a four-step procedure for chemical product design--needs, ideas, selection, manufacture--drawing numerous examples from industry to illustrate the discussion. Chemical engineering students and beginning chemical engineers will find this text an inviting introduction to chemical product design. Minimize

A Companion in Chemical Engineering (CinChE) is designed to aid students in the development of their critical thinking skills as an engineering problem solver. The creative problem-solving methodology emphasized in CinChE provides a general framework in which to solve any type of well-defined engineering problem involving material balances, phase equilibria, and energy balances. It is a systems strategy that heavily uses the mental processes of decomposition, chunking, and pattern matching, and it is specifically designed to enhance students’ higher-order thinking skills of analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. The CinChE methodology is more systematic than the problem-solving strategies found in most textbooks for the introductory course on chemical engineering, like "Elementary Principles of Chemical Processes" (Felder and Rousseau, 2005), "Basic Principles and Calculations in Chemical Engineering" (Himmelblau and Riggs, 2004), or "Introduction to Chemical Processes: Principles, Analysis, Synthesis" (Murphy, 2007). Many of the example problems presented in the CinChE manual are similar to ones found in the Felder and Rousseau textbook, but their solutions are based on the problem-solving methodology emphasized in the CinChE manual. Because the CinChE manuscript was compiled using Adobe Acrobat®, it contains many popup notes and web links. Using a supplied web address and Acrobat Reader®, students can electronically view the popup notes and access the web links that appear in many of the graphic organizers and example problems of the paper copy. The popup notes provide valuable information to help clarify the content within a graphic organizer or an example problem. The web links access text files, E-Z Solve files, Excel® files, Aspen HYSYS® files, and “.pdf” files. Students can view but not copy or print the electronic version of the CinChE manual. Minimize
