Description
Mcgraw-Hill Inc Molecular Engineering by Mcgee, Henry A
This book aims to bridge the gap that exists between molecular physics and applied engineering. The author illustrates how an understanding of matter and its properties at the molecular level can lead to creative calculation methods, and to solutions that are outside the scope of traditional engineering, such as laser-based processes for isotope separation. Through an exploration of the molecular theory of thermodynamics, transport properties, and kinetic reactions, novel applications are developed in areas ranging from biotechnology to high-speed aerodynamics. Mathematical concepts are fully supported with graphs and tables. This multidisciplinary and solutions-oriented approach to molecular engineering aims to advance the problem-solving skills of chemical engineers, mechanical engineers and aerospace engineers.
