Elements of X-Ray Diffraction

                                           

Elements of X-Ray Diffraction

Intended to acquaint the reader with the theory of x-ray diffraction, the experimental methods involved, and the main applications. The book is a collection of principles and methods stressing X-ray diffraction rather than metallurgy. The book is written entirely in terms of the Bragg law and can be read without any knowledge of the reciprocal lattice. It is divided into three main parts—Fundamentals; experimental methods; and applications. Designed for beginners, not as a reference tool for the advanced reader

Frontiers in Chemistry

                                           

Frontiers in Chemistry

On the scientific side, the introduction of new techniques which can virtually see at molecular level has revolutionized the way chemistry is practiced today. One has started looking at nano scale and started designing and fabricating tools at nano scale. This can have far reaching consequences and the expected surprises can be in almost all sectors of human endeavour. It is therefore natural that the teaching and learning of Chemistry have also to change. This is evident from the methodology that one has to adopt since lecture based courses are not longer appealing and one has to use a variety of soft ware tools to demonstrate and make the molecules perform so that the teacher and the taught is enjoying the knowledge transfer process in a totally different platform

Numerical Methods and Modeling for Chemical Engineers

                                           

Numerical Methods and Modeling for Chemical Engineers

This book is an introduction to the quantitative treatment of differential equations that arise from modeling physical phenomena in the area of chemical engineering. It evolved from a set of notes developed for courses taught at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. Although the subjects covered in this book are the same as in other texts, the treatment is different in that it emphasizes the methods implemented in commercial software. The aim is to provide an understanding of how the subroutines work in order to help the engineer gain maximum benefit from them

Methods in Industrial Biotechnology for Chemical Engineers

                                              Methods in Industrial Biotechnology for Chemical Engineers

In this book, the authors apply some set of fuzzy techniques to chemical industry problems such as finding the right proportion of raw mix to control pollution, to study flow rates, and to find out the better quality of products. Fuzzy control theory, fuzzy neutral networks, fuzzy relational equations and genetic algorithms are used to find solutions. Neutrosophic models are used when indeterminacy occurs

Fluid Bed Particle Processing

                                              Fluid Bed Particle Processing

Fluid bed granulation in the form of agglomeration and coating processes are important unit operations used for many purposes in the biochemical and pharmaceutical industries. Although being simple in the fundamental principles, such processes are difficult to control and fully understand. In this text the processes and principles of fluid bed wet granulation processes are introduced together with an introduction to the mechanical properties of processed granules. Thus, you will be familiar with the basic principles and theory within this important field on a bachelor or

 master-of-science level

Polymer Science and Engineering

Polymers are used in everything from nylon stockings to commercial aircraft to artificial heart valves, and they play a key role in addressing environmental problems, international competitiveness, and other national issues. This book explores the universe of polymers in such fields as medicine and biotechnology information and communication, housing and construction, energy and transportation, national defense, and environmental protection

Practical Chemistry for Engineering Students

                                              Practical Chemistry for Engineering Students

The treatment of the subject in the lecture-room is necessarily more theoretical and descriptive, and the present work, which is essentially for laboratory use, should, under proper guidance from the teacher, be found to be a valuable adjunct to the systematic courses of lectures and tutorial classes which the student is expected to attend during his first and second years

Applied Electrochemistry
