Unit Operations and Unit Processes

This consolidated but versatile textbook provides detailed coverage of all Unit operations and Unit processes employed in process industries in two volumes. An exhaustive coverage of each operation/process has been presented starting from the fundamentals to the most recent advances. The treatment is fully objective and application-oriented with emphasis on simulation design and analysis of each operation/process. Lengthy description of equipment has been avoided. The book blends Unit operations with Unit processes since apart from physical processes (unit operations) chemical processes (reaction kinetics and reactor design) are also covered in full. This volume covers Simultaneous heat and mass transfer Extraction and adsorption Membrane based separation processes and Reaction kinetics and reactor design. The book provides complete study material to students of Chemical Mechanical Metallurgical and Biochemical Engineering and related areas. It would also be a veritable text and reference for teachers practicing engineers professional consultants and research scientists.
