Inhaltsangabe

THE CONTENT IS ACCESSIBLE TO SOPHOMORE ENGINEERING STUDENTS WITH CONTENT APPROPRIATE FOR UPPER CLASSMEN AND WORKING ENGINEERS.  IN ADDITION TO THE TRADITIONAL FOCAL TOPICS IN ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING: AIR WASTEWATER WATER AND SOLID WASTE, INFORMATION IS INCLUDED ON CURRENT REACTIONARY ISSUES SUCH AS: SUSTAINABILITY, RISK GLOBAL AIR QUALITY AND PUBLIC HEALTH   A FOCUS ON PRACTICAL SOLUTIONS AND PROBLEM SOLVING BACKED BY RELEVANT THEORY IS MAINTAINED THROUGHOUT.   MANY STUDENTS BEGINNING THEIR ENGINEERING STUDIES STRUGGLE TO CRITICALLY READ TEXTBOOKS AND HAVE DIFFICULTY WHEN MUDDLING THROUGH EXAMPLE PROBLEMS.  THE FOCUS HERE IS TO PROVIDE PRACTICAL EXAMPLE PROBLEMS THAT HELP STUDENTS COMPREHEND CHALLENGING THEORY AND FACILITATE ITS REAL-WORLD APPLICATION.  EXAMPLE PROBLEMS PROVIDE A DETAILED AND STRUCTURED APPROACH TO FINDING A SOLUTION; EXAMPLES WILL BE PROVIDED USING SI AND US UNITS.   SEVERAL CHAPTERS WILL CONTAIN INTRODUCTORY MATERIAL APPROPRIATE FOR SOPHOMORES AS WELL AS MORE ADVANCED MATERIAL THAT MIGHT ONLY BE APPROPRIATE FOR UPPER LEVEL ENGINEERING STUDENTS.

Reseña del editor

Environmental Engineering: Principles and Practice is written for advanced undergraduate and first-semester graduate courses in the subject. The text provides a clear and concise understanding of the major topic areas facing environmental professionals. For each topic, the theoretical principles are introduced, followed by numerous examples illustrating the process design approach. Practical, methodical and functional, this exciting new text provides knowledge and background, as well as opportunities for application, through problems and examples that facilitate understanding. Students pursuing the civil and environmental engineering curriculum will fi nd this book accessible and will benefit from the emphasis on practical application. The text will also be of interest to students of chemical and mechanical engineering, where several environmental concepts are of interest, especially those on water and wastewater treatment, air pollution, and sustainability. Practicing engineers will find this book a valuable resource, since it covers the major environmental topics and provides numerous step-by-step examples to facilitate learning and problem-solving. Environmental Engineering: Principles and Practice offers all the major topics, with a focus upon: a robust problem-solving scheme introducing statistical analysis; example problems with both US and SI units; water and wastewater design; sustainability; public health. There is also a companion website with illustrations, problems and solutions.
