Preface

This book addresses the evolutionary stage of Chemical Engineering and provides an overview to the state of the art and technological advancements. Chemical Engineering applications have always been challenging. Optimization of plausible solutions to problems in economic manner through technology is worth. The script has been designed to enable the reader to access the desired knowledge on fundamentals and advancements in Chemical Engineering in a single text. The molecular perspective of Chemical Engineering is increasingly becoming important in the refinement of kinetic and thermodynamic molding. As a result many of the theories, subject matters and approaches are being revisited and improved. The approach to industrial

The subject of primary interest in this text is to highlight recent advances in chemical engineering knowledge. Therefore, the book is divided into four section fundamentals, catalysis & reaction engineering, process engineering and separation technology. Fundamentals covers, application of chebyshev polynomials to analyze soft equation of state, UV-VIS Spectra analysis, proton NMR technique applications, and modeling approach for process redesign. Catalysis and reaction engineering discusses; asymmetric catalyst design, intensification, modeling, prepration, characterization and recycling, carbohydrate-based surfactants, bio-fuel production form micro-algae, biodiesel using triglycerides, and pollutant formation during combustion. Third section of process engineering focused on systematic multiobjective process optimization, CFD modeling of fluidized bed, optimization of evaporation system, spouted bed scale-up, desalination, and economic evaluation of macro scale production processes. Last section of the book has emphasized on separation technology includes phase diagram analysis, membranes developments and applications, and phase transitions study. Molecular chemistry, reaction engineering and modeling have been demonstrated to be interrelated and of value for practical applications.
