Focusing on the application of mathematics to chemical engineering‎,‎ Applied Mathematical Methods for Chemical Engineers addresses the setup and verification of mathematical models using experimental or other independently derived data‎.‎ The book provides an introduction to differential equations common to chemical engineering‎,‎ followed by examples of first‎-order and linear second‎-order ordinary differential equations‎.‎ Later chapters examine Sturm‎-Liouville problems‎,‎ Fourier series‎,‎ integrals‎,‎ linear partial differential equations‎,‎ regular perturbation‎,‎ combination of variables‎,‎ and numerical methods emphasizing the method of lines with MATLAB‎(‎R‎)‎ programming examples‎.‎ Fully revised and updated‎,‎ this Third Edition‎:‎ * Includes additional examples related to process control‎,‎ Bessel Functions‎,‎ and contemporary areas such as drug delivery * Introduces examples of variable coefficient Sturm‎-Liouville problems both in the regular and singular types * Demonstrates the use of Euler and modified Euler methods alongside the Runge‎-Kutta order‎-four method * Inserts more depth on specific applications such as nonhomogeneous cases of separation of variables * Adds a section on special types of matrices such as upper‎- and lower‎-triangular matrices
