Focused on practical applications, this book offers numerical solution strategies for chemical engineering problems by integrating process models. The second edition includes a new chapter on numerical integration, expanded sections on boundary value problems, general modeling principles, and mass/energy balances, along with a dedicated section on Differential-Algebraic Equations (DAEs). It serves as a comprehensive resource for engineers seeking to enhance their problem-solving skills in the field.

Product-driven process design – from molecule to enterprise provides process engineers and process engineering students with access to a modern and stimulating methodology to process and product design. Throughout the book the links between product design and process design become evident while the reader is guided step-by-step through the different stages of the intertwining product and process design activities. Both molecular and enterprise-wide considerations in design are introduced and addressed in detail. Several examples and case studies in emerging areas such as bio- and food-systems, pharmaceuticals and energy are discussed and presented. This book is an excellent guide and companion for undergraduate, graduate students as well as professional practitioners.
