MATLAB Applications in Chemical Engineering (Revised Edition)

　　This book addresses the applications of MATLAB and Simulink in the solution of chemical engineering problems. By classifying the problems into seven different categories, the author organizes this book as follows:

　　Chapter One - Solution of a System of Linear Equations
　　Chapter Two - Solution of Nonlinear Equations
　　Chapter Three - Interpolation, Differentiation and Integration
　　Chapter Four- Numerical Solution of Ordinary Differential Equations
　　Chapter Five - Numerical solution of Partial Differential Equations
　　Chapter Six - Process Optimization
　　Chapter Seven - Parameter Estimation

　　Each chapter is arranged in four major parts. In the first part, the basic problem patterns that can be solved with MATLAB are presented. The second part describes how to apply MATLAB commands to solve the formulated problems in the field of chemical engineering. In the third and the fourth parts, exercises and summary of MATLAB instructions are provided, respectively. The description of the chemical engineering example follows the sequence of problem formulation, model analysis, MATLAB program design, execution results, and discussion. In this way, learners are first aware of the basic problem patterns and the underlying chemical engineering principles, followed by further familiarizing themselves with the relevant MATLAB instructions and programming skills. Readers are encouraged to do exercises to practice their problem-solving skills and deepen the fundamental knowledge of chemical engineering and relevant application problems.
