Foundational Concepts in Chemical and Bioprocess Engineering

Foundational Concepts in Chemical and Bioprocess Engineering is a textbook that covers the fundamental principles of chemical and bioprocess engineering. The book is written in a clear and concise style, and it is designed to be accessible to students with a variety of backgrounds.

The book begins with an overview of the field of chemical and bioprocess engineering. It then discusses the basic principles of material and energy balances, thermodynamics, and fluid flow.

The book then applies these principles to a variety of specific chemical and bioprocess engineering operations, such as:

Distillation
Absorption
Extraction
Adsorption
Reaction engineering
Fermentation
Separation processes

The book also includes a number of chapters on more advanced topics, such as:

Process control
Process optimization
Economic analysis of chemical and bioprocess engineering systems
