Principles and Modern Applications of Mass Transfer Operations

Now in its second edition, this classic textbook for the study of mass transfer operations has been revised to include new information on vital topics such as membrane separations, ion exchange, multistage batch distillation and chromatography. Benitez (chemical engineering, U. of Puerto Rico at Mayaguez) has been teaching this subject for 32 years, and he uses extensive problems, illustrations and diagrams to explain complex processes in the field that will benefit engineering students, researchers and instructors. The author also explains the use of the Mathcad program to solve these complex problems, and he includes appendices that define important equations, coefficients, constants and designs.
