Chemical Micro Process Engineering: Processing and Plants.TP157 3-527-30998-5 Chemical micro process engineering; processing and plants. Hessel, Volker et al. Wiley-VCH, [c]2005 651 p. $199.00 Designed to supplement recent literature in the field, this text focuses on the unit operations Unit operations A structure of logic used for synthesizing and analyzing processing schemes in the chemical and allied industries, in which the basic underlying concept is that all processing schemes can be composed from and decomposed into a series of of mixing, heat transfer, and product purification required at the beginning and end stages of chemical micro-process engineering. Mixing of miscible miscible /mis·ci·ble/ (mis´i-b'l) able to be mixed. mis·ci·ble adj. Capable of being and remaining mixed in all proportions. Used of liquids. fluids is discussed in detail, with sections on 94 types of mixers, their protocols and simulation, and typical results. An exhaustive list of micro-structured fuel processors are described, with sections on methanol methanol, methyl alcohol, or wood alcohol, CH3OH, a colorless, flammable liquid that is miscible with water in all proportions. Methanol is a monohydric alcohol. It melts at −97. steam reforming, catalytic cat·a·lyt·ic adj. Of, involving, or acting as a catalyst: "Deregulation's catalytic power . . . is still reshaping the banking, communications, and transportation industries" Ellyn E. combustion of alcohol fuels, catalytic hydrocarbon hydrocarbon (hī'drōkär`bən), any organic compound composed solely of the elements hydrogen and carbon. The hydrocarbons differ both in the total number of carbon and hydrogen atoms in their molecules and in the proportion of hydrogen combustion, and integrated systems fueled by methanol, among other types. Catalyst screen and micro-structured reactor plant concepts are the subject of the final chapters, with discussion of 25 types of reactors and 14 types of automation. The authors are chemical engineers in Germany. |
