Now in its seventh edition, the text still contains its balanced treatment of theory and engineering practice, with many practical, illustrative examples included. Almost 30% of the problems have been revised or are new, some of which cover modern topics such as food processing and biotechnology. Other unique topics of this text include diafiltration, adsorption and membrane operations.
Salient Features:
- Expanded coverage of biochemistry and food processing.
- The section on fluid viscosity in Chap. 3 is expanded to include simple theories for gases and liquids.
- The text contains a balanced treatment of theory and engineering practice, with many practical illustrative examples included.
