Overview

Step into a modern chemical plant's control room and you'll hear one language spoken everywhere: MATLAB. Whether you're scaling up a catalytic reactor, debugging a distillation column, or reconciling plant data at 3 a.m., the difference between ""it works"" and ""shutdown"" lies in how quickly you can turn equations into robust code. This comprehensive textbook hands you that power-chapter by chapter, equation by equation, line by line. What You'll Discover Inside- End-to-End Numerical Workflows - From linear algebra, nonlinear solvers, and stiff ODE integration to finite-volume PDE schemes, every algorithm is demonstrated with clean, copy-and-paste MATLAB scripts. - Thermodynamics & Phase Equilibria - Cubic equations of state, activity-coefficient models, flash calculations, and phase-split stability tests, all wrapped in reusable functions. - Reaction Engineering Mastery - Batch, CSTR, and PFR models with energy balances, heat of reaction calculations, and sensitivity analysis for kinetic parameters. - Transport Phenomena in Code - Conduction, convection-diffusion, mass transfer coefficients, and CFD-ready discretizations built from first principles. - Optimization & Data Reconciliation - Linear, quadratic, and nonlinear programming solved with MATLAB's powerhouse toolset, plus statistical techniques to turn noisy plant data into actionable insights. - Scale-Up & Dimensional Analysis - Harness similarity rules and dimensionless groups to migrate lab results to pilot and full-scale units. Who It's For- Senior undergraduates & graduate students aiming to dominate process simulation courses. - Practicing engineers craving a one-stop numerical arsenal to cut weeks off project timelines. - Researchers who need transparent, editable code instead of black-box software. Why It Works- 99 Focused Chapters - Each dedicated to a single modeling cornerstone, allowing lightning-fast lookup. - Full MATLAB Code - Ready to run, fully commented, and easily extended to your specific plant or research problem. - Rigorous Yet Accessible - Every derivation is paired with concise explanations and real-world chemical engineering context.
