About this title

Synopsis

Presenting a clear, concise exposition of practical computational methods in chemical engineering, this book provides a bridge between introductory applications and more advanced levels of mathematics. Authors Owen Hanna and Orville Sandall include broad use of convergence acceleration techniques such as Pade approximation for series; Shanks transformation for series; linear and nonlinear systems of algebraic equations; systematic use of global Richardson extrapolation for integrals and ODE systems to monitor the overall error; and discussion of methods for the solution of stiff ODE.
In addition, some 25 user-friendly microcomputer programs which are demonstrated and used for many of the problems are available in IBM format on the accompanying diskette in FORTRAN 77 and True BASIC.

From the Publisher

This book presents a clear, concise exposition of practical computational and numerical methods that are becoming increasingly important in chemical engineering. Analytical and numerical techniques are presented as complementary, and reinforce each other. Error analysis or estimation methods are discussed for all methods. The authors have chosen methods and algorithms based on criteria of simplicity, generality and efficiency.
