Scale-up in Chemical Engineering

Das Thema des Buches ist die Übertragung von Verfahren aus dem Labor- bzw. dem Technikumsmaßstab in den technischen Maßstab einer Produktionsanlage. Die einzige zuverläßige Methode dazu basiert auf der Darstellung von Versuchsergebnissen im zutreffenden dimensionsanalytischen Raum, der sich als maßstabsinvariant erweist.§Das Buch ist in zwei Teile gegliedert. In der ersten Hälfte werden theoretische Grundlagen detailiert so vorgestellt, daß sie der Leser praktisch ohne mathematische Kenntnisse versteht. Diskutiert werden die Grundlagen der Dimensionsanalyse, die Behandlung von temperaturabhängigen und von rheologischen Stoffwerten und die Modellübertragung bei nicht-Verfügbarkeit von Modell-Stoffsystemen sowie bei partieller Ähnlichkeit. All dies wird mit 20 modernen Beispielen aus der heutigen verfahrenstechnischen Praxis illustriert.§Im zweitem Teil des Buches werden die einzelnen verfahrenstechnischen Grundoperationen aus den Bereichen mechanische, thermische und chemische Ver fahrenstechnik von der Warte der Dimensionsanalyse und der Modellübertragung beispielhaft behandelt und es werden für jede Operation die Maßstabsübertragungsregeln vorgestellt und diskutiert.Easily comprehensible, this new edition is completely updated to reflect the latest literature, and now features 20 real-world examples plus 25 exercises with solutions, dimensional analysis of pelleting processes, and a historical overview of dimensional analysis and modeling.Covering the important task of the scale-up of processes from the laboratory to the production scale, this easily comprehensible and transparent book is divided into two sections. The first part details the theoretical principles, introducing the subject for readers without a profound prior knowledge of mathematics. It discusses the fundamentals of dimensional analysis, the treatment of temperature-dependent and rheological material values and scale-up where model systems or not available or only partly similar. All this is illustrated by 20 real-world examples, while 25 exercises plus solutions new to this edition practice and monitor learning.§The second part presents the individual basic operations and covers the fields of mechanical, thermal, and chemical process engineering with respect to dimensional analysis and scale-up. The rules for scale-up are given and discussed for each operation. Other additions to this second edition are dimensional analysis of pelleting processes, and a historical overview of dimensional analysis and modeling, while all the chapters have been updated to take the latest literature into account.§Written by a specialist with more than 40 years of experience in the industry, this book is specifically aimed at students as well as practicing engineers, chemists and process engineers already working in the field.Covering the important task of the scale-up of processes from the laboratory to the production scale, this easily comprehensible and transparent book is divided into two sections.
