This book offers a comprehensive coverage of process simulation, useful for undergraduate students of Chemical Engineering and Process Engineering as theoretical provision in Process Design. Chemical engineering is the study and practice of transforming substances at large scales for the tangible improvement of the human condition. Chemical engineering is a discipline influencing numerous areas of technology. In broad terms, chemical engineers conceive and design processes to produce, transform and transport materials — beginning with experimentation in the laboratory followed by implementation of the technology in full-scale production. Chemical engineers develop alternative fuels and energy systems that allow our dependence on fossil fuels to be reduced. Thus, chemical engineering is often intertwined with biology and biomedical engineering, particularly with regard to harnessing the chemical machinery inside a cell, and developing and manufacturing “markers” for detecting cancer cells.
