Inhaltsangabe
The Design of Coffee provides a non-mathematical introduction to chemical engineering, as illustrated by the roasting and brewing of coffee. Hands-on coffee experiments demonstrate key engineering principles, including material balances, chemical kinetics, mass transfer, fluid mechanics, conservation of energy, and colloidal phenomena. The experiments lead to an engineering design competition where contestants strive to make the best tasting coffee using the least amount of energy – a classic engineering optimization problem, but one that is both fun and tasty!
Anybody with access to a sink, electricity, and inexpensive coffee roasting and brewing equipment can do these experiments, either as part of a class or with your friends at home. The Design of Coffee will help you understand how to think like an engineer – and how to make excellent coffee!
The third edition incorporates the latest research on coffee, and is tremendously expanded for use in classes on the semester system. New labs feature water chemistry and brewing, pressure driven flow through grounds, espresso and viscosity, colloids and filtration, and coffee economics. Also includes updated equipment recommendations and lists, a new glossary, and lots of brand new bonus material about coffee.
