Basic Principles and Calculations in Chemical Engineering

Basic Principles and Calculations in Chemical Engineering, 9th Edition, is a textbook that introduces systematic methods for formulating and solving material and energy balance problems. Its analytical framework focuses largely on macroscopic analysis, treating complex engineering systems as uniform.

Coverage outlines foundational principles such as unit conversions, process measurements, and basis selection. The volume then addresses balances for multi-unit processes, material balances with chemical reactions, and reacting energy balances. In the 2023 edition, two new chapters introduce dynamic material and energy balances along with psychrometric charts.

Organized into modular chapters suitable for introductory courses of any length, the text serves students, professional license candidates, practicing engineers, and scientists.
