By Enrico Drioli, Lidietta Giorno
Pass:tFmemop.rar

Description:

The only book dedicated to membrane technology, covering all the different innovative membrane areas from separation to contactors, and regarding them as unit operations in process engineering.
The specific potential of these advanced new operations is analyzed by different experts in the field, with regard to their basic aspects and in particular to their potential application for a sustainable growth and improvement in the quality of life. To this end, much emphasis is placed on the role of membrane engineering as a dominant technology in such areas as water desalination or artificial organs.
The editors are well known and recognized within the community, while the active experience of the authors provides a highly practical, industrially relevant approach to the subject. Topics considered in detail include membranes in fuel cells, membranes in MEMS and OLEDS, as well as integrated membrane systems.

Bubbles, Drops, and Particles in Non-Newtonian Fluids

Bubbles, Drops, and Particles in Non-Newtonian Fluids, Second Edition (Chemical Industries Series)
By: R.P. Chhabra

Description:

A full understanding of Non-Newtonian materials and non-linear flow characteristics is essential for scientists and engineers dealing with them on daily basis. Presenting information that is current, easy to use and of direct relevance in scores of chemical, food and processing industries, this book reconciles the voluminous literature dealing with the behavior of bubbles, drops and particles in such fluids, and it applies and interrelates highly theoretical and mathematically complex work with the practical needs of the practicing engineers. No other book offers such a rich selection of topics related to this field.

Distillation Design and Control Using Aspen Simulation

Distillation Design and Control Using Aspen Simulation
by: William L. Luyben

Distillation is one of the most important separation methods in the chemical and petroleum industries. Distillation Design and Control Using Aspen Simulation uses the commercial simulator Aspen Plus to develop rigorous simulations of single distillation columns and sequences of columns. It serves as an important reference for both novice and experienced engineers faced with distillation problems.
