Material and energy (M&E) balances are fundamental to biological, chemical, electrochemical, photochemical and environmental engineering disciplines and important in many fields related to sustainable development.This comprehensive compendium presents the basic M&E balance concepts and calculations in a format easily digested by students, engineering professionals and those concerned with related environmental issues.The useful reference text includes worked examples for each chapter and demonstrates process balances in the framework of M&E concerns of the 21st century. The additional problems and solutions in the Appendix embrace a wide range of subjects, from fossil fuels to fuel cells, solar energy, space stations, carbon dioxide capture and sodium-ion batteries.

Material and energy balances are fundamental to many engineering disciplines and have a major role in decisions related to sustainable development. This text, which covers the substance of corresponding undergraduate courses, presents the balance concepts and calculations in a format accessible to students, engineering professionals and others who are concerned with the material and energy future of our society.Following a review of the basic science and economics, the text focuses on material and energy accounting in batch and continuous operations, with emphasis on generic process units, flow sheets, stream tables and spreadsheet calculations. There is a unified approach to reactive and non-reactive energy balance calculations, plus chapters dedicated to the general balance equation and simultaneous material and energy balances. Seventy worked examples show the elements of process balances and connect them with the material and energy concerns of the 21st century.

Material and energy (M&E) balances are fundamental to chemical (process) engineering, environmental engineering and industrial chemistry. This text presents M&E balance calculations in a compact, transparent format accessible to students and professionals in the above fields, and to others who want to quantify the physical progress of our civilization. The text embraces all topics covered in corresponding engineering undergraduate courses and deals with environmental and sustainability issues of current concern to society. The general balance equation is the foundation for a review of relevant science and economics, and hence, for material and energy accounting in batch and continuous chemical processes. The text focuses on SI units, using flowsheets and stream tables in computer spreadsheets to represent practical systems. Worked examples range from simple stoichiometry to modeling multi-unit recycle and unsteady-state processes.
