Self-Study Combo for MATLAB Applications in Chemical Engineering

Book 1: MATLAB Applications in Chemical Engineering

This book addresses the applications of MATLAB and Simulink in the solution of chemical engineering problems. By classifying the problems into seven different categories, the author organizes this book as follows:

Chapter One - Solution of a System of Linear Equations
Chapter Two - Solution of Nonlinear Equations
Chapter Three - Interpolation, Differentiation and Integration
Chapter Four- Numerical Solution of Ordinary Differential Equations
Chapter Five - Numerical solution of Partial Differential Equations
Chapter Six - Process Optimization
Chapter Seven - Parameter Estimation

Each chapter is arranged in four major parts. In the first part, the basic problem patterns that can be solved with MATLAB are presented. The second part describes how to apply MATLAB commands to solve the formulated problems in the field of chemical engineering. In the third and the fourth parts, exercises and summary of MATLAB instructions are provided, respectively. The description of the chemical engineering example follows the sequence
of problem formulation, model analysis, MATLAB program design, execution results, and discussion. In this way, learners are first aware of the basic problem patterns and the underlying chemical engineering principles, followed by further familiarizing themselves with the relevant MATLAB　　 instructions and programming skills. Readers are encouraged to do exercises to practice their problem-solving skills and deepen the fundamental knowledge of
chemical engineering and relevant application problems.

Book 2: Exercises Solution Manual

This self-study solution manual in accompany with the book "MATLAB Applications in Chemical Engineering" is designed to provide readers with the key points of solving exercise problems at the end of each chapter, which therefore instructively guides readers to familiarize themselves with the related MATLAB commands and programming methods for various types of problems. Additionally, through the assistance of this solution manual, the readers would profoundly strengthen the logical abilities, problem-solving skills, and deepen the applications of MATLAB programming language to solve analysis, design, simulation and optimization problems arose in related fields of chemical engineering.

The preparation of this manual is not for directly providing solutions, but through key guidance, overview and analysis, and instructional solution-steps, to gradually cultivate readers' problem-solving skills.
