Description: The most in-depth guide to chemical process modeling, analysis and simulation ever published.
-- Presents a detailed non-linear model for chemical processes.
-- Detailed coverage of process modeling, numerical techniques, and linear systems analysis.
-- Includes platform-independent m-files for MATLAB and SIMULINK exercises and case study solutions on diskette.

Modeling, analysis and simulation of chemical processes is increasingly central to the work of chemical engineers -- but it is rarely covered in depth in process design guides. This book fills that gap. It is a comprehensive introduction to process modeling and dynamics using the powerful MATLAB and SlMULINK analysis tools.

Start by understanding the rationale for process modeling, and why it is becoming so critically important. Then, review all the fundamental numerical techniques involved, including algebraic equations and numerical integration. Walk through linear systems analysis in detail, learning how to linearize non-linear models, solve linear nth Order ODE models, work with Laplace transforms and transfer function analysis, and much more. Finally, learn how to use today's increasingly-important non-linear techniques, such as phase plane analysis, quadratic maps bifurcation behavior, and analysis of chaotic behavior via Lorenz equations.
