Principles Of Mass Transfer And Separation Processes

Contents Preface Introduction Molecular Diffusion Convective Mass Transfer and Mass Transfer Coefficient Interphase Mass Transfer Gas-Liquid Contacting Equipment Gas Absorption and Stripping Distillation Liquid-Liquid Extraction Solid-Liquid Extraction Humdification and Water Cooling Drying of Wet Solids Adsorption Crystallization Membrane Separation Multicomponent Distillation Transient Diffusion and Mass Transfer with Chemical Reaction Appendix IndexThis textbook is targetted to undergraduate students in chemical engineering chemical technology and biochemical engineering for courses in mass transfer separation processes transport processes and unit operations The principles of mass transfer both diffusional and convective have been comprehensively discussed The application of these principles to separation processes is explained The more common separation processes used in the chemical industries are individually described in separate chapters The book also provides a good understanding of the construction the operating principles and the selection criteria of separation equipment Recent developments in equipment have been included as far as possible The procedure of equipment design and sizing has been illustrated by simple examples An overview of different applications and aspects of membrane separation has also been provided ?Humidification and water cooling? necessary in every process industry is also described Finally elementary principles of ?unsteady state diffusion? and mass transfer accompanied by a chemical reaction are covered 580 pp.…
