8. Top-notch eBook content to use in the classroom: Chemical Engineering The Need for Quality, Diverse Content for Academic, Government, and Corporate Researchers Chemical Engineering Design, 2nd Edition Principles, Practice and Economics of Plant and Process Design 9780080966595 For undergraduate two semester sequence Senior Design courses in Chemical Engineering. "Chemical Engineering Design is a complete text for students of chemical engineering. Written for the senior design course, and also suitable for introduction to chemical engineering courses, it covers the basics of unit operations and the latest aspects of process design, equipment selection, plant and operating economics, safety and loss prevention. It includes detailed worked examples, case studies, end-of-chapter exercises, plus supporting data, spreadsheet calculations and equipment specification sheets for downloading." --Chemical Engineering Progress Bioprocess Engineering Principles, 2nd Edition9780122208515 This welcome new edition covers bioprocess engineering principles for the reader with a limited engineering background. It explains process analysis from an engineering point of view, using worked examples and problems that relate to biological systems. Application of engineering concepts is illustrated in areas of modern biotechnology such as recombinant protein production, bioremediation, biofuels, drug development, and tissue engineering, as well as microbial fermentation. The main sub-disciplines within the engineering curriculum are all covered; Material and Energy Balances, Transport Processes, Reactions and Reactor Engineering. With new and expanded material, Doran’s textbook remains the book of choice for students seeking to move into bioprocess engineering. By Gavin Towler and R K Sinnott By Pauline M.
