Books in the Wiley Series in Chemical Engineering series

The complete control system engineering solution for continuous and batch manufacturing plants. This book presents a complete methodology of control system design for continuous and batch manufacturing in such diverse areas as pulp and paper, petrochemical, chemical, food, pharmaceutical, and biochemical production.

Treats the important area of surface chemistry - or what happens on a molecular level when one substance comes in contact with another. Provides an understanding of the principles which govern adsorption and reactions of gases on solid surfaces. Describes what occurs and why processes happen the way they do, including discussions of applications.

Presents a rigorous development of thermodynamic laws of phase equilibria beginning with fundamental principles, accompanied by a short description of the mathematics vital to a clear understanding of basic concepts as well as the practical methods used to calculate phase equilibria.

Presents the theory and application of the subject, describing how engineers can use models to design and simulate process equipment. The text includes numerous examples based on existing systems, and a disk containing programs that solve problems outlined in the book.
