Introduction to Matlab for Chemical & Petroleum Engineering

By Sam Toan, Bahareh Nojabaei, Hertanto Adidharma

Sorry for any inconvenience, we are working on the second edition and it will be published soon. The importance of using computer-aided calculations for engineers is evident nowadays. Several classes in universities are taught to help engineering students become comfortable in using computation tools. The purpose of this book is to provide a useful reference for students, specifically chemical and petroleum en-gineering majors, and learn computer programming using MATLAB. MATLAB is a very good tool as it has various built-in functions. MATLAB also has very easy-to-use graphing tools. These capabilities and features of MATLAB make it a perfect computational tool for undergraduate level engineering stu-dents. The book chapters are designed to cover most of the topics in chemical and pe-troleum engineering required courses. We first introduce the basics of program-ing as well as plotting features in MATLAB. The students learn how to solve linear and nonlinear equations and system of equations using MATLAB in Chapter 6. Curve fitting and interpolation are covered in Chapter 7. The focus of the last several chapters is mostly on differentiation, integration, and solving ordinary and partial differential equations. We provide chemical and petroleum engineer-ing related examples in each chapter. Furthermore, some numerical methods that can be utilized at both the undergraduate and graduate levels are also dis-cussed. We, the authors, hope that this book would be helpful for both engineer-ing students and instructors.
