This book focuses on the application of mathematics to chemical engineering and addresses the setup and verification of mathematical models using experimental or other independently derived data. An expanded and updated version of its well-respected predecessor, this book uses worked examples to illustrate several mathematical methods that are essential in successfully solving process engineering problems. The book provides an introduction to differential equations common to chemical engineering, followed by examples of first-order and linear second-order ordinary differential equations. Later chapters examine Sturm–Liouville problems, Fourier series, integrals, linear partial differential equations, and regular perturbation.

This Second Edition of the go-to reference combines the classical analysis and modern applications of applied mathematics for chemical engineers. The book introduces traditional techniques for solving ordinary differential equations (ODEs), adding new material on approximate solution methods such as perturbation techniques and elementary numerical solutions. It also includes analytical methods to deal with important classes of finite-difference equations. The last half discusses numerical solution techniques and partial differential equations (PDEs). The reader will then be equipped to apply mathematics in the formulation of problems in chemical engineering. Like the first edition, there are many examples provided as homework and worked examples.

This comprehensive, well organized and easy to read book presents concepts in a unified framework to establish a similarity in the methods of solutions and analysis of such diverse systems as algebraic equations, ordinary differential equations and partial differential equations. The distin-guishing feature of the book is the clear focus on analytical methods of solving equations. The text explains how the methods meant to elucidate linear problems can be extended to analyse nonlinear problems. The book also discusses in detail modern concepts like bifurcation theory and chaos.To attract engineering students to applied mathematics, the author explains the concepts in a clear, concise and straightforward manner, with the help of examples and analysis. The significance of analytical methods and concepts for the engineer/scientist interested in numerical applications is clearly brought out.Intended as a textbook for the postgraduate students in engineering, the book could also be of great help to the research students.

"Geared toward advanced undergraduates or graduate students of chemical engineering studying applied mathematics, this text introduces the quantitative treatment of differential equations arising from modeling physical phenomena in chemical engineering. Coverage includes topics such as ODE-IVPs, placing emphasis on numerical methods and modeling implemented in commercial mathematical software available in 1985"--

This book is a Solutions Manual to accompany Applied Mathematics and Modeling for Chemical Engineers, Third Edition. There are many examples provided as homework in the original text and the solution manual provides detailed solutions of many of these problems that are in the parent book Applied Mathematics and Modeling for Chemical Engineers, Third Edition.
