Applied Mathematics and Modeling for Chemical Engineers (Wiley Series in Chemical Engineering)

By Duong D. Do, Richard G. Rice, Duong D Do, et al.

Book Overview

Bridges the gap between classical analysis and modern applications. Following the chapter on the model building stage, it introduces traditional techniques for solving ordinary differential equations, adding new material on approximate solution methods such as perturbation techniques and elementary numerical solutions. Also includes analytical methods to deal with important classes of finite-difference equations. The last half discusses numerical solution techniques and partial differential equations.

Nice Condition, cheaper, good book

I found the book in good condition. Price was much cheaper than nearby stores of Philadelphia PA. Free shipping was on time.

Perfect description

The book was exactly as it was described. It was shipped promptly and arrived in time for classes.

Finally a math text for ChemE's!

This is an excellent and focused book for graduate ChemE's. Lots of the problems are the types you would see in graduate transport and controls courses. Everything is written with ChemE problems in mind. It's not like other textbooks, like Kreyzig's, that simply put out a bunch of generic problems to solve; still, Kreyzig's textbook is an engineering math classic, and you should have it on-hand in case you need some extra explanations. It is certainly better than the text of Varma and Morbidelli, which tends to move off-topic quickly and answer several unnecessary problems. This text by Rice and Do is the best I've seen, but it is really hard to get a hold of. Good luck getting it, as it is certainly a good investment.

An Excellent Book ...for Process Modeling Engineers

This is an excellent book that talks about various mathematical tools and its applications for Process Modeling. This start with the very basic funamentals and finishes at the highest level. This is a rare book that describes the theorotical fundamentals of mathematical Derivations in Chemical Engineering unlike other books that majorly contain Numerical Methods
