| chemical vs mechanical engineering: Computational Methods in Chemical Engineering with Maple Ralph E. White, Venkat R. Subramanian, 2010-02-06 This book presents Maple solutions to a wide range of problems relevant to chemical engineers and others. Many of these solutions use Maple’s symbolic capability to help bridge the gap between analytical and numerical solutions. The readers are strongly encouraged to refer to the references included in the book for a better understanding of the physics involved, and for the mathematical analysis. This book was written for a senior undergraduate or a first year graduate student course in chemical engineering. Most of the examples in this book were done in Maple 10. However, the codes should run in the most recent version of Maple. We strongly encourage the readers to use the classic worksheet (*. mws) option in Maple as we believe it is more user-friendly and robust. In chapter one you will find an introduction to Maple which includes simple basics as a convenience for the reader such as plotting, solving linear and nonlinear equations, Laplace transformations, matrix operations, ‘do loop,’ and ‘while loop. ’ Chapter two presents linear ordinary differential equations in section 1 to include homogeneous and nonhomogeneous ODEs, solving systems of ODEs using the matrix exponential and Laplace transform method. In section two of chapter two, nonlinear ordinary differential equations are presented and include simultaneous series reactions, solving nonlinear ODEs with Maple’s ‘dsolve’ command, stop conditions, differential algebraic equations, and steady state solutions. Chapter three addresses boundary value problems. |

| chemical vs mechanical engineering: Thermodynamics: Fundamentals and Applications for Chemical Engineers Miguel T. Fleischer, 2017-12-29 Thermodynamics: Fundamentals and Applications for Chemical Engineers explores the concepts and properties of thermodynamics and illustrates how they can be applied to solve practical problems. The book introduces the fundamentals of thermodynamics for multi-phase, multi-component systems, providing a framework for dealing with problems in chemical engineering including mixing, compressing, and distilling fluids. The first eight chapters of Thermodynamics focus on single-component thermodynamics, introducing important concepts that will be referenced throughout subsequent chapters. Later chapters introduce modeling for multi-component systems. Topics covered include: properties as a function of state variables; first and second law of thermodynamics; power cycles, combustion, refrigeration cycles, and heat pumps; equilibrium phase relationships; correlations and calculations of vapor-liquid equilibrium data; elementary theories of solutions; and the efficiency of multicomponent separation and reaction processes. The Second Law of Thermodynamics, availability concepts, and process efficiency receive extensive coverage. The clear, well-organized sequence of the chapters helps students successfully learn and retain information. Each of the fifteen chapters includes updated sample problems that underline key principles and problem-solving steps. The book has numerous appendixes for quick reference on everything from conversion factors to Francis constants, and from properties of pure substances to thermodynamics tables and Diagrams. Thermodynamics can be used by chemical, petroleum, and mechanical engineering departments in introductory and intermediate courses on engineering thermodynamics and thermodynamics fundamentals. Born and raised in Chile, Miguel T. Fleischer earned his M.S. and Ph.D. in chemical engineering from the University of Houston where he is an adjunct professor and the undergraduate program director of the Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Department. Dr. Fleischer worked at Royal Dutch Shell for more than 26 years in research and development, manufacturing, finance, and management. He began teaching when he was an undergraduate student in Chile where he developed a program sponsored by Universidad CatOlica de Chile to prepare high school students for college. He was the co-owner and CEO of Fleischer International Trading, a private enterprise that imported and distributed wines from all over the world for 13 years. He continued teaching while he was a graduate student at the University of Houston.

This book highlights the main findings of a benchmarking exercise to rate the standing of U.S. mechanical engineering basic research relative to other regions or countries. The book includes key factors that influence U.S. performance in mechanical engineering research, and near- and longer-term projections of research leadership. U.S. leadership in mechanical engineering basic research overall will continue to be strong. Contributions of U.S. mechanical engineers to journal articles will increase, but so will the contributions from other growing economies such as China and India. At the same time, the supply of U.S. mechanical engineers is in jeopardy, because of declines in the number of U.S. citizens obtaining advanced degrees and uncertain prospects for continuing to attract foreign students. U.S. funding of mechanical engineering basic research and infrastructure will remain level, with strong leadership in emerging areas. |
