Rezensionen

"Overall, the material covered is good. The need for mathematical modeling and simulation, the basic steps involved in the development of mathematical modeling and simulation, and validation of the models are highlighted a systematic way. For large number of situations, the associated mathematical model equations with the relevant boundary conditions/initial conditions are given. The analytical solutions, wherever possible, are given. For situations requiring numerical solutions, MATLAB® programs are given. There is a good presentation of the subject materials. The book can be recommended for two courses: one at the undergraduate level (chapters 1 to 4 and 9), and one at the post-graduate level (chapters 5 to 11)."
-Dr. M. Chidambaram, Indian Institute of Technology Madras

"A thorough book on modeling and simulation for different engineering fields that is augmented by case studies from a wide range of applications."
-Jadran Vrabec, Mechanical Engineering, University of Paderborn, Germany

"The strength of the book is the diversity of topics covered starting with models based on simple laws and conservation laws illustrated for multiphase systems without and with reaction. ...The whole picture of process modeling and simulation ends with the last chapter on simulation of large plants."
-Alirio E. Rodrigues, The Faculdade de Engenharia da Universidade do Porto, Portugal
