Process Modelling and Simulation in Chemical, Biochemical and Environmental Engineering (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book explores effective modelling and simulation approaches for solving equations. It provides a clear explanation of how to simplify complex processes at various levels with the help of a 'model sketch'. The second edition covers modelling of multi-stage processes and multi-stage, multi-phase systems with thermodynamic processes, including reactive distillation. Additionally, process intensification is introduced with modelling of electrochemical processes. A chapter on batch processes in filtration, adsorption, drying, distillation and batch reactors is included, backed by case studies.

• Presents a systematic approach of model development in view of the simulation need
• Discusses modelling techniques to model hydrodynamics, mass and heat transfer, and reactors for single- as well as multi-stage/multi-phase systems
• Explores diffusion based on Stefan-Maxwell theory, including principal component analysis
• Reviews dynamics models covering process dynamics
• Includes enhanced case studies to illustrate simulations, including ANN

This book is aimed at senior undergraduate and graduate students in chemical, biochemical and environmental engineering.

Autorenporträt

Ashok Kumar Verma retired as Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering and Technology at Indian Institute of Technology (Banaras Hindu University) Varanasi. He holds a B.Sc. degree from Allahabad University, a B.E. degree in Chemical Engineering from University of Roorkee (now Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee), an M.E degree in chemical engineering from Indian Institute of Sciences, Bangalore and a Ph.D. in Technology from Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur.

Ashok Kumar Verma joined the institute in 1984. He conducted post-doctoral research at Department of Chemical Engineering, University of Illinois, Chicago. His research experience includes modelling of liquid fluidized bed and heat transfer in slurry bubble columns. He has taught courses in modelling and simulation, process engineering, computer aided design, artificial intelligence in chemical engineering, transfer processes, and process control. His current activities include development of virtual lab, based on real time simulation, for chemical engineering courses.

Ashok Kumar Verma has authored or coauthored about ten research papers appearing in a range of chemical engineering journals. He also authored or co-authored numerous papers in national and international proceedings and book titled 'Process design for Chemical and Environmental Engineering'. He has made presentations at several conferences and seminars and presented invited lectures at several workshops organised at other universities institutions and industries.

Ashok Kumar Verma and his family reside in Varanasi, India.

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
