Reviews

Without any strategy at all I was trying to solve very simple material balance problems, and was constantly failing. After reading and conscientiously following the procedures proposed by Drs. Simpson and Sastry, the material balance exercises were never again a problem. I am very thankful for this book. -Paulina Galaz, Bachelor of Biochemistry, Universidad Catolica de Chile. Material balance problems can easily get complicated if you do not follow proper procedure. The method proposed in this book allowed me to correctly define the necessary steps and then solve complex problems, which could not have been solved without the application of such procedures. -Clio Peirano, Chemical Engineering, Universidad Tecnica Federico Santa Maria. During my first year of Chemical Engineering, material balance problems were a nightmare. Fortunately, I read and carefully study the proposed methods by Drs. Simpson and Sastry. Now I can proudly say that material balance is my strength. -Natalia Valencia, Chemical Engineering, Universidad Tecnica Federico Santa Maria.
