Essentials of Chemical Reaction Engineering (Prentice Hall International Series in the Physical and Chemical Engineering Sciences)

May 17, 2012 – 8:57 am

Essentials of Chemical Reaction Engineering (Prentice Hall International Series in the Physical and Chemical Engineering Sciences)

Learn Chemical Reaction Engineering through Reasoning, Not Memorization

 

Essentials of Chemical Reaction Engineering is the complete, modern introduction to chemical reaction engineering for today’s undergraduate students. Starting from the strengths of his classic Elements of Chemical Reaction Engineering, Fourth Edition, in this volume H. Scott Fogler added new material and distilled the essentials for undergraduate students.

 

Fogler’s unique way of presenting the material helps students gain a deep, intuitive understanding of the field’s essentials through reasoning, using a CRE algorithm, not memorization. He especially focuses on important new energy and safety issues, ranging from solar and biomass applications to the avoidance of runaway reactions.

 

Thoroughly classroom tested, this text reflects feedback from hundreds of students at the University of Michigan and other leading universities. It also provides new resources to help students discover how reactors behave in diverse situations–including many realistic, interactive simulations on DVD-ROM.

 

New Coverage Includes

  • Greater emphasis on safety: following the recommendations of the
  • Chemical Safety Board (CSB), discussion of crucial safety topics, including ammonium nitrate CSTR explosions, case studies of the nitroaniline explosion, and the T2 Laboratories batch reactor runaway
  • Solar energy conversions: chemical, thermal, and catalytic water spilling
  • Algae production for biomass
  • Steady-state nonisothermal reactor design: flow reactors with heat exchange
  • Unsteady-state nonisothermal reactor design with case studies of reactor explosions

 

About the DVD-ROM

The DVD contains six additional, graduate-level chapters covering catalyst decay, external diffusion effects on heterogeneous reactions, diffusion and reaction, distribution of residence times for reactors, models for non-ideal reactors, and radial and axial temperature variations in tubular reactions. Extensive additional DVD resources include

  • Summary notes, Web modules, additional examples, derivations, audio commentary, and self-tests
  • Interactive computer games that review and apply important chapter concepts
  • Innovative “Living Example Problems” with Polymath code that can be loaded directly from the DVD so students can play with the solution to get an innate feeling of how reactors operate
  • A 15-day trial of Polymath™ is included, along with a link to the Fogler Polymath site
  • A complete, new AspenTech tutorial, and four complete example problems
  • Visual Encyclopedia of Equipment, Reactor Lab, and other intuitive tools
  • More than 500 PowerPoint slides of lecture notes

Additional updates, applications, and information are available at www.umich.edu/~essen and www.essentialsofcre.com.

Systems Engineering and Analysis (5th Edition) (Prentice Hall International Series in Industrial & Systems Engineering)

May 13, 2012 – 8:56 pm

Systems Engineering and Analysis (5th Edition) (Prentice Hall International Series in Industrial & Systems Engineering)

For senior-level undergraduate and first and second year graduate systems engineering and related courses. Systems Engineering and Analysis, 5/e, provides a total life-cycle approach to systems and their analysis.


This practical introduction to systems engineering and analysis provides the concepts, methodologies, models, and tools needed to understand and implement a total life-cycle approach to systems and their analysis. The authors focus first on the process of bringing systems into being—beginning with the identification of a need and extending that need through requirements determination, functional analysis and allocation, design synthesis, evaluation, and validation, operation and support, phase-out, and disposal. Next, the authors discuss the improvement of systems currently in being, showing that by employing the iterative process of analysis, evaluation, feedback, and modification, most systems in existence can be improved in their affordability, effectiveness, and stakeholder satisfaction.

Breaking Through Culture Shock: What You Need to Succeed in International Business

March 26, 2012 – 7:47 pm

Breaking Through Culture Shock: What You Need to Succeed in International Business

What makes some international managers successful while others struggle with basic tasks? If we are all so global nowadays, what makes some of us more international than others? When U.S. managers succeed in only 50% of their global work and UK managers only 14%, the answer lies not with the number of air-miles one clocks up on transatlantic flights or the technical excellence one brings to a job. Success with international teams entails managing culture shock. In this new edition of the critically acclaimed Breaking Through Culture Shock: What You Need to Succeed in International Business, Elisabeth Marx provides a practical guide to managing the emotional, cognitive, and social facets of participating in international cyber-teams and long-term assignments in another countries. Drawing on the experiences of over two hundred managers from around the world and in-depth interviews with global business leaders like Edward Dolman of Christie’s, Peter Job of Reuters, and Win Bischoff of Schroders and Citigroup Europe, Marx explains the many layers and types of culture, providing steps to both businesses and individuals to cope and conquer culture-related stress. With instructive scenarios and quizzes to test your knowledge, Marx offers positive and practical business advice to those who want to succeed working in international business.

International Business Marketing in Emerging Country Markets: The Third Wave of Internationalization of Firms

March 26, 2012 – 4:47 pm

International Business Marketing in Emerging Country Markets: The Third Wave of Internationalization of Firms

This book explores how multinational corporations solve business marketing problems encountered in large emerging country markets such as China, India, Russia and Poland. These countries are involved in the final stage of the globalization of markets, defined as the third wave of internationalization of firms.

Hans Jansson finds that traditional ideas and frameworks used for analyzing, forming and implementing industrial marketing in mature markets are in need of adjustment before they are applied to emerging country markets. Accordingly, he develops the international business marketing model to address the specific challenges afforded by these markets, and explores strategic business marketing issues such as:

* the adaptation of European firms’ international marketing of products and projects to local networks and institutions in emerging country markets, especially to Chinese and Russian business networks
* relationship marketing during the internationalization process and of firms with diverse international experience
* the inter-linking of local and regional hubs’ external market networks with internal organization networks.

International Business Marketing in Emerging Country Markets will strongly appeal to a broad academic audience, including students, lecturers and researchers with an interest in international marketing and business. Marketing and management consultants will also find much to interest them within this unique book.
