This textbook is designed for undergraduate courses in chemical engineering and related disciplines such as biotechnology, polymer technology, petrochemical engineering, electrochemical engineering, environmental engineering, safety engineering and industrial chemistry. The chief objective of this text is to prepare students to make analysis of chemical processes through calculations and also to develop in them systematic problem-solving skills. The students are introduced not only to the application of law of combining proportions to chemical reactions (as the word ‘stoichiometry’ implies) but also to formulating and solving material and energy balances in processes with and without chemical reactions. The book presents the fundamentals of chemical engineering operations and processes in an accessible style to help the students gain a thorough understanding of chemical process calculations. It also covers in detail the background materials such as units and conversions, dimensional analysis and dimensionless groups, property estimation, P-V-T behaviour of fluids, vapour pressure and phase equilibrium relationships, humidity and saturation. With the help of examples, the book explains the construction and use of reference-substance plots, equilibrium diagrams, psychrometric charts, steam tables and enthalpy composition diagrams. It also elaborates on thermophysics and thermochemistry to acquaint the students with the thermodynamic principles of energy balance calculations. Key Features : • SI units are used throughout the book. • Presents a thorough introduction to basic chemical engineering principles. • Provides many worked-out examples and exercise problems with answers. • Objective type questions included at the end of the book serve as useful review material and also assist the students in preparing for competitive examinations such as GATE.

This compact and highly readable text, now in its second edition, continues to provide a thorough introduction to the basic chemical engineering principles and calculations to enable the students to evaluate the material and energy balances in various units of a process plant. Unless a chemical engineer is conversant with the energy conservation techniques at every stage of the process, economy cannot be achieved in the design of process equipment. The text lucidly explains the techniques involved in analyzing different chemical processes and the underlying theories by making a generous use of appropriate worked examples. The examples are simple and concrete to make the book useful for self-instruction. In this new edition, besides worked examples, several exercises are included to aid students in testing their knowledge of the material contained in each chapter. The book is primarily intended for undergraduate students of Chemical Engineering. It would also be useful to undergraduate students of Petroleum Technology, Pharmaceutical Technology and other allied branches of Chemical Engineering. KEY FEATURES: Exposes the reader to background information on different systems of units, dimensions and behaviour of gases, liquids and solids. Provides several examples with detailed solutions to explain the concepts discussed. Includes chapter-end exercises with answers to enhance learning.

Keeping the importance of basic tools of process calculations—material balance and energy balance—in mind, the text prepares the students to formulate material and energy balance theory on chemical process systems. It also demonstrates how to solve the main process-related problems that crop up in chemical engineering practice. The chapters are organized in a way that enables the students to acquire an in-depth understanding of the subject. The emphasis is given to the units and conversions, basic concepts of calculations, material balance with/without chemical reactions, and combustion of fuels and energy balances. Apart from numerous illustrations, the book contains numerous solved problems and exercises which bridge the gap between theoretical learning and practical implementation. All the numerical problems are solved with block diagrams to reinforce the understanding of the concepts. Primarily intended as a text for the undergraduate students of chemical engineering, it will also be useful for other allied branches of chemical engineering such as polymer science and engineering and petroleum engineering. KEY FEATURES • Methods of calculation for stoichiometric proportions with practical examples from the Industry • Simplified method of solving numerical problems under material balance with and without chemical reactions • Conversions of chemical engineering equations from one unit to another • Solution of fuel and combustion, and energy balance problems using tabular column

Designed as an undergraduate-level textbook in Chemical Engineering, this student-friendly, thoroughly class-room tested book, now in its second edition, continues to provide an in-depth analysis of chemical engineering thermodynamics. The book has been so organized that it gives comprehensive coverage of basic concepts and applications of the laws of thermodynamics in the initial chapters, while the later chapters focus at length on important areas of study falling under the realm of chemical thermodynamics. The reader is thus introduced to a thorough analysis of the fundamental laws of thermodynamics as well as their applications to practical situations. This is followed by a detailed discussion on relationships among thermodynamic properties and an exhaustive treatment on the thermodynamic properties of solutions. The role of phase equilibrium thermodynamics in design, analysis, and operation of chemical separation methods is also deftly dealt with. Finally, the chemical reaction equilibria are skillfully explained. Besides numerous illustrations, the book contains over 200 worked examples, over 400 exercise problems (all with answers) and several objective-type questions, which enable students to gain an in-depth understanding of the concepts and theory discussed. The book will also be a useful text for students pursuing courses in chemical engineering-related branches such as polymer engineering, petroleum engineering, and safety and environmental engineering. New to This Edition • More Example Problems and Exercise Questions in each chapter • Updated section on Vapour–Liquid Equilibrium in Chapter 8 to highlight the significance of equations of state approach • GATE Questions up to 2012 with answers
