Inhaltsangabe

This is a unique book with nearly 1000 problems and 50 case studies on open-ended problems in every key topic in chemical engineering that helps to better prepare chemical engineers for the future. The term "open-ended problem" basically describes an approach to the solution of a problem and/or situation for which there is not a unique solution. The Introduction to the general subject of open-ended problems is followed by 22 chapters, each of which addresses a traditional chemical engineering or chemical engineering-related topic. Each of these chapters contain a brief overview of the subject matter of concern, e.g., thermodynamics, which is followed by sample open-ended problems that have been solved (by the authors) employing one of the many possible approaches to the solutions. This is then followed by approximately 40-45 open-ended problems with no solutions (although many of the authors' solutions are available for those who adopt the book for classroom or training purposes). A reference section is included with the chapter's contents. Term projects, comprised of 12 additional chapter topics, complement the presentation.

This book provides academic, industrial, and research personnel with the material that covers the principles and applications of open-ended chemical engineering problems in a thorough and clear manner. Upon completion of the text, the reader should have acquired not only a working knowledge of the principles of chemical engineering, but also (and more importantly) experience in solving open-ended problems.

What many educators have learned is that the applications and implications of open-ended problems are not only changing professions, but also are moving so fast that many have not yet grasped their tremendous impact. The book drives home that the open-ended approach will revolutionize the way chemical engineers will need to operate in the future.

LOUIS THEODORE, EngScD, is a retired professor of chemical engineering (50 years). He is the author of several Wiley publications, including Fluid Flow for the Practicing Chemical Engineer, Thermodynamics for the Practicing Engineer, Mass Transfer Operations for the Practicing Engineer, and Air Pollution Control Equipment Calculations. Dr. Theodore is also a contributor to Perry's Chemical Engineer's Handbook.

J. Patrick Abulencia is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Manhattan College. He received his B.S. degree in Chemical Engineering from Manhattan College, and his Ph.D. in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering from Johns Hopkins University. Dr. Abulencia typically teaches material and energy balances, thermodynamics, fluid flow, and unit operations laboratory. His research interests include water filtration, life cycle assessment, and engineering education. He co-authored with Louis Theodore Fluid Flow for the Practicing Chemical Engineer.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Against a drumbeat of hopelessness about too much student debt and too few jobs requiring a college degree, "Smart is the New Rich: Money Guide for Millennials" is a realistic and optimistic road map for millennials to save more, navigate their careers, invest in the stock market, and pay their student loans all at the same time.

TIME is a four-letter word of the very best kind for millennials. It is the single most important driver of wealth, and young people have it in spades. That's why "the time is now" for millennials to address their financial health and start planning their wealth.

Just as you'd buy a guidebook before a trip through Central America or Europe, this is a guidebook for young people travelling for the first time in the money world: at work, with friends and significant others, negotiating a raise, renting an apartment or saving to buy a house, and of course... retirement. Credit, debt, savings, investment, taxes, mortgages--this book is an all-in-one explanation of these topics and more, with checklists and other tools to make the plan clear and easy.

Author Christine Romans is a CNN journalist who has been reporting on the events that have shaped the millennial generation, including the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the financial crisis of 2008, President Barack Obama's election and reelection, and the wave of protests from Occupy Wall Street to the Arab Spring to #JeSuisCharlie. These events have shaped the millennial generation- a generation that values experiences over materialism and wants more out of their jobs and money than the credit-fueled mirage that came before them.
