Chemical Engineering Computational Transport Phenomena for Engineering Analyses
Transport Phenomena Fundamentals Second Edition Joel Plawsky Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, New York, USA
Richard C. Farmer
Series: Chemical Industries
Ralph W. Pike
SECA, Inc., Carson City, Nevada, USA
Although the practice of chemical engineering has broadened to encompass problems in a range of disciplines, including biology, biochemistry, and nanotechnology, one of the curriculum’s foundations is built upon the subject of transport phenomena. Transport Phenomena Fundamentals, Second Edition provides a unified treatment of heat, mass, and momentum transport based on a balance equation approach. Used in a two-term transport phenomena sequence at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, this text streamlines the approach to how the subject is taught. The first part of the book takes students through the balance equation in the context of diffusive transport, be it momentum, energy, mass, or charge. Each chapter adds a term to the balance equation, highlighting the effects of that addition on the physical behavior of the system and the underlying mathematical description. The second half of the book builds upon the balance equation description of diffusive transport by introducing convective transport terms, focusing on partial rather than ordinary differential equations. The Navier–Stokes and convective transport equations are derived from balance equations in both macroscopic and microscopic forms. The second edition of this text is enhanced by the use of finite element methods in the form of examples and extended homework problems. A series of example modules are associated with each chapter of the text. Some of the modules are used to produce examples in the text, and some are discussed in the homework at the end of each chapter. All of the modules are located online at an accompanying website designed to be a living component of the course. September 2009, 857 pp. ISBN: 978-1-4200-6233-5, £49.99

Connecting basic principles with numerical methodology for solving the conservations laws, Computational Transport Phenomena for Engineering Analyses presents the topic in terms of modern engineering analysis. The book includes a production quality computer source code for expediting and illustrating analyses of mass, momentum, and energy transport. The text covers transport phenomena with examples that extend from basic empirical analyses to complete numerical analyses. It includes a computational transport phenomena (CTP) code written in Fortran and developed and owned by the authors. The code does not require a lease and can run on a PC or a supercomputer. The authors also supply the source code, allowing users to modify the code to serve their particular needs, once they are familiar with the code. Using the CTP code, grid generation and solution procedures are described and visual solution presentations are illustrated thus offering extensive coverage of the methodology for a wide range of applications. The authors illustrate and emphasize that the very general solutions afforded by solving the unsteady, multidimensional transport equations for real multicomponent fluids describe an immense body of physical processes. Bringing together a wealth of professional and instructional experience, this book stresses a problem-solving approach that uses one set of computational and graphical tools to describe all aspects of the analysis. It provides understanding of the principles involved so that code improvements and/or use of commercial codes can be accomplished knowledgeably. June 2009, 530 pp. ISBN: 978-1-4200-6756-9, £39.99

Computational and Theoretical Chemistry
Quantum Dynamics Applications in Biological and Materials Systems Eric R. Bittner University of Houston, Texas, USA
Even though time-dependent spectroscopic techniques continue to push the frontier of chemical physics, they receive scant mention in introductory courses and are poorly covered in standard texts. Quantum Dynamics: Applications in Biological and Materials Systems bridges the gap between what is traditionally taught in a onesemester quantum chemistry course and the modern field of chemical dynamics, presenting the quantum theory of charge and energy transport in biological systems and optical-electronic materials from a dynamic perspective. Reviews the basics: Taking a pedagogical approach, the book begins by reviewing the concepts of classical mechanics that are necessary for studying quantum mechanics. It discusses waves and wave functions and then moves on to an exploration of semiclassical quantum mechanics methods, an important part of the development and utilization of quantum theory. Time-independent and time-dependent perspectives: The main focus of the book is the chapter on quantum dynamics, which begins with a brief review of the bound states of a coupled two-level system. This is discussed with a time-independent as well as a time-dependent perspective. The book also explores what happens when the two-level system has an additional harmonic degree of freedom that couples the transitions between the two states. The book reviews different ways in which one can represent the evolution of a quantum state, explores the quantum density matrix, and examines the basis for excitation energy transfer between molecules. Later chapters describe the pi electronic structure of conjugated organic systems and discuss electron-phonon coupling in conjugated systems and transport and dynamics in extended systems.
Includes Mathematica® downloads: On an accompanying website, Mathematica® applications and codes can be downloaded to illustrate the theoretical methods presented, and the book offers ample references for further study. The book and website combine to provide students with a clear understanding of the theory and its applications. Features: • Covers cutting-edge material rarely found in textbooks • Provides required background and theoretical material to understand the concepts • Discusses applications of current interest, as well as many theoretical topics not presented well in other books • Offers Mathematica applications and codes on an accompanying website to illustrate the theoretical methods presented A solutions manual is available with qualifying course adoption

Water Chemistry Green Science and Technology of Nature's Most Renewable Resource
Environmental Chemistry Ninth Edition Stanley E. Manahan University of Missouri, Columbia, USA
Stanley E. Manahan University of Missouri, Columbia, USA
Carefully crafted to provide a comprehensive overview of the chemistry of water in the environment, Water Chemistry: Green Science and Technology of Nature's Most Renewable Resource examines water issues within the broad framework of sustainability, an issue of increasing importance as the demands of Earth’s human population threaten to overwhelm the planet’s carrying capacity. Renowned environmental author Stanley Manahan provides more than just basic coverage of the chemistry of water. He relates the science and technology of this amazing substance to areas essential to sustainability science, including environmental and green chemistry, industrial ecology, and green (sustainable) science and technology. The inclusion of a separate chapter that comprehensively covers energy, including renewable and emerging sources, sets this book apart. Manahan explains how the hydrosphere relates to the geosphere, atmosphere, biosphere, and anthrosphere. His approach views Planet Earth as consisting of these five mutually interacting spheres. He covers biogeochemical cycles and the essential role of water in these basic cycles of materials. He also defines environmental chemistry and green chemistry, emphasizing water’s role in the practice of each. Manahan highlights the role of the anthrosphere, that part of the environment constructed and operated by humans. He underscores its overwhelming influence on the environment and its pervasive effects on the hydrosphere. He also covers the essential role that water plays in the sustainable operation of the anthrosphere and how it can be maintained in a manner that will enable it to operate in harmony with the environment for generations to come. August 2010, 416 pp. Soft Cover, ISBN: 978-1-4398-3068-0, £59.99
The field of environmental chemistry has evolved significantly since the publication of the first edition of Environmental Chemistry. Throughout the book’s long life, it has chronicled emerging issues such as organochloride pesticides, detergent phosphates, stratospheric ozone depletion, the banning of chlorofluorocarbons, and greenhouse warming. During this time, the first Nobel Prize for environmental chemistry was awarded. Written by environmental chemist Stanley Manahan, each edition has reflected the field’s shift of emphasis from pollution and its effects to its current emphasis on sustainability. Completely revised, this ninth edition retains the organizational structure that has made past editions so popular with students and professors while updating coverage of principles, tools, and techniques to provide fundamental understanding of environmental chemistry and its applications. It includes end-of-chapter questions and problems, and a solutions manual is available upon qualifying course adoptions. Rather than immediately discussing specific environmental problems, Manahan systematically develops the concept of environmental chemistry, so that when he covers specific pollutions problems, the background necessary to understand the problem has already been developed.

Physical Chemistry for Engineering and Applied Sciences Frank R. Foulkes Physical Chemistry for Engineering and Applied Sciences is the product of over 30 years of teaching first-year Physical Chemistry in the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering at the University of Toronto. The text, designed to be as rigorous and compatible with a first-year student’s ability to understand, presents detailed step-by-step derivations of the equations that permit the student to follow the underlying logic and, of equal importance, to appreciate any simplifying assumptions made or mathematical tricks employed. In addition to the 600 exercises and end-of-chapter problems, the text is rich in worked non-trivial examples designed to be inspiring and thoughtprovoking. Step-by-step derivation of all equations enables the student to smoothly follow the derivation by sight, and can be understood relatively easily by students with moderate skills and backgrounds in math. Clear and accessible, Physical Chemistry for Engineering and Applied Sciences includes: • The answers to all of the 112 worked examples, 99 exercises following many of the worked examples, and 496 end-of-chapter problems • Topics not normally seen in introductory physical chemistry textbooks (ionic reaction rates, activities, and activity coefficients) or not regularly explained in much detail (electrochemistry, chemical kinetics, and more), with an eye on industry applications • Special appendices that provide detailed explanations of basic integration and natural logarithms for students lacking a background in integral calculus • An in-depth chapter on electrochemistry, complete with student activities requiring extensive, accurate calculations Features: • Shows students how to use the theoretical principles and equations developed in the text via a large number of completely worked example problems
• Provides 500 end-of-chapter problems chosen to be sufficiently interesting so the students will actually want to know the answers. • Facilitates self-instruction by providing the answers––but not the solutions––of all exercises and problems • Includes a very detailed summary at the end of each chapter, and a cross-referenced index that includes examples and problems • Describes ionic equilibria with equations derived rigorously using mass balances, charge balances, and equilibrium constant relationships • Shows how simplifying assumptions leads to the more familiar simpler forms applicable in most (but not all!) cases • Discusses ionic reaction rates, the basis for many industrial and biological processes • Reviews basic integrals and logarithms for readers who need a calculus refresher in detailed and easy-to-understand appendices Selected Contents: Things You Should Know But Probably Forgot.

Hogeschool Zuyd, Heerlen, The Netherlands
Indian Institute of Technology, Madras (retired)
This text presents a unified treatment of all the classical topics spanning physical chemistry in a lucid manner to aid easy comprehension. It uses simple language, develops the subject matter in a logical manner, and aims at getting the students to learn and apply the concepts rather than learn the subject by rote. Some topics such as quantum mechanics, non-equilibrium thermodynamics, and group theory have, on purpose, been simplified. Textbook of Physical Chemistry, together with companion books on organic chemistry and inorganic chemistry, meets the complete requirements of undergraduate students of chemistry. In a book comprising all the classical topics which span physical chemistry including chemical kinetics, electrochemistry, and thermodynamics among others, uniformity in the depth of coverage of each topic is not easy to attain in view of the disjointed pace of growth of each discipline. Nevertheless, care has been taken to ensure that the material in this book will sustain the interest of students and motivate them to learn physical chemistry. In order to aid students, every chapter contains the Objectives at the beginning and Key Points at the end. Various aspects of physical chemistry are dealt with in a lucid manner and interesting related matter is highlighted in boxes. The derivations are given in a comprehensible manner. Since physical chemistry involves numericals, several worked examples complement the text. The exercises at the end of each chapter, in particular, have been designed to sharpen the problem-solving skills and direct the student towards appreciating the nuances of physical chemistry. April 2012, 592 pp. ISBN: 978-1-4665-1183-5, £49.99
