Basic Principles and Calculations in Chemical Engineering (7th Edition)
By David M. Himmelblau & James B. Riggs

Basic Principles and Calculations in Chemical Engineering by David M. Himmelblau and James B. Riggs is a practically oriented and student-friendly introduction to the field, serving as the definitive resource for students, license candidates, practicing engineers, and scientists. This seventh edition introduces efficient and consistent methods for analyzing material and energy balance problems, organizing solutions, and calculating answers, while thoroughly addressing the behavior of gases, liquids, and solids across a wide range of chemical, petroleum, and environmental engineering applications.

Topics commonly covered include:

• Dimensions, units, and their conversion
• Material and energy balance fundamentals
• Behavior of ideal and real gases
• Single-component two-phase systems
• Gas-liquid systems
• Degrees of freedom analysis
• Process simulation
• Unsteady-state material and energy balances
• Adsorption
• Combustion and energy balance applications

Key features:

• New chapters on degrees of freedom, process simulation, and unsteady-state materials
• New chapter on adsorption added for this edition
• Topics reorganized into individual short chapters for faster comprehension and review
• Updated Polymath software for solving linear, nonlinear, and differential equations
• New physical property database with over 740 compounds in a convenient point-and-click format
• 200 supplementary problems, 100 with detailed solutions, plus expanded coverage of environmental, safety, semiconductor, nanotechnology, and biotechnology applications

Perfect for:

• Chemical engineering students
• B.E./B.Tech students studying material and energy balances
• First- and second-year undergraduate chemical engineering coursework
• Faculty teaching introductory chemical engineering courses
• Practicing chemical engineers and license candidates seeking a foundational reference
