About this title

Synopsis

In this textbook, the author teaches readers how to model and simulate a unit process operation through developing mathematical model equations, solving model equations manually, and comparing results with those simulated through software. It covers both lumped parameter systems and distributed parameter systems, as well as using MATLAB and Simulink to solve the system model equations for both. Simplified partial differential equations are solved using COMSOL, an effective tool to solve PDE, using the fine element method. This book includes end of chapter problems and worked examples, and summarizes reader goals at the beginning of each chapter.

About the Author

Nayef Ghasem is Professor of Chemical Engineering at the United Arab Emirates University, Al Ain, United Arab Emirates. He earned both BSc and MSc degrees from the Middle East Technical University, Ankara (Turkey), and earned his PhD from the University of Salford, Greater Manchester (UK). He teaches chemical process principles, natural gas processing, and process modeling and simulation as undergraduate courses along with other courses in chemical engineering. Previously, he taught these courses at the University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. He has published more than 50 journal papers, primarily in the areas of modeling and simulation, bifurcation theory, gas–liquid separation using membrane contactor, and fabrication of polymeric hollow fiber membranes. He has also authored 2 books, Computer Methods in Chemical Engineering and Principles of Chemical Engineering Processes: Material and Energy Balances, Second Edition, published by CRC Press. Prof. Ghasem is a senior member of American Institute of Chemical Engineers.
