Phillip Wankat - Separation Process Engineering: Includes Mass Transfer Analysis

ePUB is an open, industry-standard format for eBooks. However, support of ePUB and its many features varies across reading devices and applications. Use your device or app settings to customize the presentation to your liking. Settings that you can customize often include font, font size, single or double column, landscape or portrait mode, and figures that you can click or tap to enlarge. For additional information about the settings and features on your reading device or app, visit the device manufacturers Web site.

Many titles include programming code or configuration examples. To optimize the presentation of these elements, view the eBook in single-column, landscape mode and adjust the font size to the smallest setting. In addition to presenting code and configurations in the reflowable text format, we have included images of the code that mimic the presentation found in the print book; therefore, where the reflowable format may compromise the presentation of the code listing, you will see a Click here to view code image link.

To Dot, Chuck, and Jennie

The increasing challenges of climate change and a pandemic have brought a sense of urgency to finding solutions, many of which have a separations component. The continued development of industries such as biotechnology, nanotechnology, solar and wind power; the recognition that plastics need to be controlled; the increased importance of removing traces of compounds; the impressively rapid development of vaccines; and the need to reduce carbon dioxide emissions have brought new separations to the fore. Chemical engineers must understand and design new separation processes such as membrane separations, adsorption, and chromatography in addition to designing distillation, absorption, and extraction with more attention to reducing energy use.

The title of this book has evolved through its five editions. It began as Equilibrium-Staged Separations, but because membrane separations, adsorption, chromatography, and ion exchange were added, I changed the title of the second edition to Separation Process Engineering to reflect this broader coverage. The new title has been retained for the third, fourth, and fifth editions that featured a subtitle, Includes Mass Transfer Analysis, to reflect the new content in , an important topic that has been essentially ignored in the United States. In addition to solid-liquid phase equilibrium, this chapter covers suspension, static layer, and falling-film layer melt crystallization and includes 33 questions and problems27 of them new.

Additional extensive changes include the following:

• : New binary VLE equations and revision of material on simultaneous solutions

• : New sections on safety and fire hazards plus comments on dangerous chemicals throughout the problem sections

• : A new, more accurate correlation for the Gilliland correlation

• : New material on steam distillation

• : Three new examples, including new material on simple multicomponent batch distillation and residue curve analysis
