Description
Chemical engineering has often been referred to as a study in methodology. Approaches in chemical engineering are determined by individual
phenomena/processes, and each of these are studied individually. The phenomena that are treated in chemical engineering can be classified
into two groups:
(1) phenomena that are definite and can be expressed by formulas such as differential equations
(2) phenomena that
can be expressed only by probability terms.
The focus of Chemical Engineering - A new Perspective is on "information entropy". The main
themes covered are mixing, separation, turbulent structure, particle size distribution and degree of uncertainty. The book recognizes
that the information entropy may not be the only viewpoint, and how the degree of information entropy is useful for the other phenomena.
Audience
For chemical engineers in industry, researchers in universities and institutions and graduate students
