"The use of modern computational tools in problem solving has given an entirely different dimension to this book, which makes it stand out from others."—M. B. Saidutta Ph.D, NITK, Surathkal"The book is very apt for both undergraduate and postgraduate chemical engineering curriculum. The book provides special emphasis on computer aided solution approaches and also introduces the readers to some state of-the-art chemical engineering modeling software."—Prakash Kotecha, Department of Chemical Engineering, IIT Guwahati
