CHEMICAL AND BIOPROCESS ENGINEERING IBD

Sinopse

The goal of this textbook is to provide first-year engineering students with a firm grounding in the fundamentals of chemical and bioprocess engineering. However, instead of being a general overview of the two topics, Fundamentals of Chemical and Bioprocess Engineeringáwilláidentify and focus onáspecific areas in which attaining aásolid competency is desired. This strategy is the direct result of studies showing that broad-based courses at the freshman level often leave students grappling with a lot of material, which results in a low rate of retention. Specifically, strong emphasis will be placed on the topic of material balances, with the intent that students exiting a course based upon this textbook will be significantly higher on BloomâÇÖs Taxonomy (knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis and synthesis, evaluation, creation) relating to material balances.áIn addition, this book also provides students with a highly developed ability to analyze problems from the material balances perspective, which leaves themáwith importantáskills foráthe future. The textbook consists of numerous exercises and their solutions.áProblems are classified by their level of difficulty. Each chapter has referencesáand selectedáweb pages to vividly illustrate each example. In addition, to engage students and increase their comprehension and rate of retention, many examples involve real-world situations. á
