Computational Methods in Chemical Engineering

by Owen T. Hanna, Orville C. Sandall

Presenting a clear, concise exposition of practical computational methods in chemical engineering, this book provides a bridge between introductory applications and more advanced levels of mathematics. Authors Owen Hanna and Orville Sandall include broad use of convergence acceleration techniques such as Pade approximation for series; Shanks transformation for series; linear and nonlinear systems of algebraic equations; systematic use of global Richardson extrapolation for integrals and ODE systems to monitor the overall error; and discussion of methods for the solution of stiff ODE.
In addition, some 25 user-friendly microcomputer programs which are demonstrated and used for many of the problems are available in IBM format on the accompanying diskette in FORTRAN 77 and True BASIC.
