CHEMICAL TECHNOLOGY. CALCULATION EXERCISES

Discover the fascinating world of calculations in chemical technology with this unique publication. An invaluable source of knowledge for students, engineers, and anyone interested in the chemical industry. A collection of tasks to help you understand and master complex chemical processes.

• Complete calculation apparatus related to chemical reactors
• Examples of thermodynamic and kinetic characteristics of reactant systems
• Principles for preparing technological balances of production plants
• Calculation and interpretation of operating equations of chemical processes
• Set of tasks with step-by-step solutions
• Discussion of the results of calculations in the context of real processes

This book comprehensively presents methods for performing calculations in chemical technology. It contains basic information about the course of processes in chemical reactors, the properties of typical reactor models, and technological systems consisting of reactors and other apparatus. It also presents examples of typical thermodynamic and kinetic characteristics of reactant systems in equilibrium and in the reaction state.

It also discusses the principles of preparing technological balances of production plants, including mass and enthalpy streams. Examples of calculating and interpreting operating equations of chemical processes are given. The detailed part contains a set of tasks aimed at presenting methods for solving problems related to mass and enthalpy balances, calculating operating equations, and determining relationships describing the macrokinetics of reactions carried out in industrial reactors.

The content of the tasks has been enriched with a brief discussion linking the obtained calculation result with the course of the actual technological process. Thanks to the extensive scope and variety of examples, the task collection should be useful for students starting education in the field of chemistry, chemical technology and chemical engineering, as well as for people who want to deepen their knowledge in this field. The PWN Scientific Publishing House guarantees the high quality and reliability of the presented information.
