The book is dedicated to the development and use of the different types of mathematical models
for processes and data analysis. Modelling, simulation and similitude of chemical engineering processes has attracted the attention of scientists and engineers for many decades and is still today a subject of major importance for the knowledge of unitary processes of transport and kinetics as well as a fundamental key in design and scale-up. The fundamental knowledge of the mathematics of modelling as well as its theoretical basis and software practice are essential for its correct application, not only in chemical engineering but also in many other domains like materials science, bioengineering, chemistry, physics, etc. In so far as modelling simulation and similitude are essential in the development of chemical engineering processes, it will continue to progress in parallel with new processes such as micro-fluidics, nanotechnologies, environmentally-friendly chemistry processes and devices for non-conventional energy production such as fuel cells. Indeed, this subject will keep on attracting substantial worldwide research and development efforts. This book is completely dedicated to the topic of modelling, simulation and similitude in chemical engineering. It first introduces the topic, and then aims to
give the fundamentals of mathematics as well as the different approaches of modelling in order to be used as a reference manual by a wide audience of scientists and engineers. Download this book from rapidshare:
