This textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to chemical process engineering, linking the fundamental theory and concepts to the industrial day-to-day practice. It bridges the gap between chemical sciences and the practical chemical industry. It enables the reader to integrate fundamental knowledge of the basic disciplines, to understand the most important chemical processes, and to apply this knowledge to the practice in the industry.
Bridging the gap between university and industry is the utmost concern of this book. The intention is not to write a textbook for beginners in process engineering, but to help the reader to be prepared with the most essential pieces of knowledge in practical applications. It tries to answer the so-called silly questions, things that many students have learnt at the university without understanding their implications.
The target of this book is not to generate specialists but to make the reader do something reasonable and keep the overview. It is not a textbook which gives thorough explanations for any topic listed in the book for this purpose, some 400 pages are by far not enough. In fact, long mathematical and scientific derivations are avoided, and other existing textbooks are referred to where the reader can acquire an in-depth knowledge if needed. Instead, we try to explain the meaning of the topics and formulas so that the reader gets a feeling for the relationship and the interpretation. It should enable the reader to take part in discussions and to know where it is worth increasing his knowledge with further literature, and to distinguish between important and less important topics.
