Batch Processing: Modeling and Design (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781138076747)

Batch processes are widely used in pharmaceutical, food, and specialty chemicals where high value, low volume products are manufactured. Designing these processes and unit operations can be an onerous task that requires computational efforts. With examples, case studies, and more than 100 homework problems, this book presents an overview of computer-aided design packages and describes the unit operations in batch and bioprocessing. Providing students with a thorough grounding in the numerical methods necessary to solve design problems, it discusses the basics of design, modeling, and optimization. Figure slides are available upon qualifying course adoption.
