Principles Of Mass Transfer Operations - I Volume I

I am happy to present the Fourth edition of the book, “ Principles and Fundamentals of Mass Transfer Operations - I” (VOLUME I) for students of degree courses of Chemical, Petrochemical, Petroleum, and Polymer Engineering and degree courses in Biotechnology of major Universities of India. My purpose in presenting the fourth edition of this book continues to be that of the previous edition: “ to provide a vehicle for teaching, either through a formal course or through self study, the techniques of, principles of equipment design for, the mass transfer operations of chemical engineering”. The enthusiastic response to the third edition of this book has encouraged me to revise this edition, which contains many new features. In this edition simple ideas are treated first, and are then extended to the more complex.

1. Overview of Chemical Engineering Profession, Separation Processes and Mass Transfer Operations

2. Fundamentals of Diffusion Mass Transfer

3. Mass Transfer Coefficients

4. Interphase Mass Transfer

5. Gas Absorption

6. Humidification and Dehumidification Operations

7. Equipment for Gas-Liquid Operations

8. Drying Operations
