Chemical Processing & Design Sustainable Engineering Green Concepts, Strategies, Evaluation and Implementation
Food Process Engineering Operations
David Brennan
George D. Saravacos and Zacharias B. Maroulis
Monash University, VIC, Australia
National Technical University of Athens (NTUA), Greece
This book introduces chemical engineering students to key concepts, strategies, and evaluation methods in sustainable process engineering. It is intended to supplement chemical engineering texts in fundamentals and design, rather than replace them. The key objectives of the book are to widen system boundaries beyond a process plant to include utility supplies, interconnected plants, wider industry sectors and entire product life cycles; identify waste and its sources in process and utility systems and adopt waste minimization strategies; broaden evaluation to include technical, economic, safety, environmental, social, and sustainability criteria and to integrate the assessments; and broaden the engineering horizon to incorporate planning, development, design, and operations.
Current textbooks on food process engineering cover mainly the traditional unit operations of fluid flow and heat transfer, with less attention paid to mass transfer and important mechanical processing operations. This textbook provides needed balance with coverage of traditional unit operations, using updated engineering properties and data, and simplified computer aided techniques. It discusses mechanical processing and novel food processes such as membrane separations, and introduces elements of food packaging operations and food process design. It examines the effects of each process on the quality, safety, and physical structure of food products.
Features: • Explores the progressive response by legislators and professionals to perceived environmental damage and the concepts of sustainability, cleaner production, and industrial ecology • Discusses waste minimization strategies for reactors and separators and wider process and utility systems • Environmental, safety, economic, and sustainability assessments • Delineates guidelines for implementing sustainable process engineering in planning, project development, design, and operations Case examples are integrated with chapter topics throughout, and defined problems that reflect current industry challenges are provided. Contexts include electricity generation, waste sulfuric acid minimization, petroleum fuel desulfurization, and byproduct hydrogen utilization. Catalog no.

Compiling the most relevant findings from the vast amount of literature available, along with the authors’ own research results, this text provides a useful treatise on the principal concepts and practical design engineering aspects of heat transfer. It describes all modes of heat transfer, including phase change and two-phase flow, and compares the methods and observations related to size-affected domains with conventional heat transfer analyses. Emphasizing engineering applications, the book covers micro heat exchangers and pipes as well as microchannel heat sinks.
The book explores essential principles and reinforces the concepts with classical and contemporary illustrations drawn from the engineering, environmental, and biological sciences. The theories of heat conduction and transfer are utilized not so much to draw analogies but rather to make fruitful use of existing solutions not seen in other texts on the subject. The text fills a void in traditional chemical engineering literature by providing access to the principles and working practices that allow mass transfer theory to be applied to separation processes.
