OVERVIEW

In this chapter we will apply what we have learned so far in MATLAB programming and develop programs that can handle more complicated chemical engineering problems.

These problems usually can be solved using functions for numerical computations discussed in the previous chapter, which covers:

Physical Properties Approximation

• Saturated Steam Pressure-Temperature Relationship

• Binary System - Equilibrium Curve

• Enthalpy-Concentration Relationship for Magnesium Sulfate System

• Phase Diagram - Magnesium Sulfate System

Chemical Engineering Sample Problems

• Cubic Equation of State

• Compressibility Factor

• Simple Differential Distillation

• Two-dimensional Conduction

• Reactor Tanks

• Reactions in Series

• Crystallization

All program listings discussed in this chapter can be found on the CD-ROM.
