"The authors-a chemical engineer and a civil engineer-have
complimented each other in delivering an introductory text on
optimization for engineers of all disciplines. It covers a host of
topics not normally addressed by other texts. Although introductory
in nature, it is a book that will prove invaluable to me and my
staff, and belongs on the shelves of practicing environmental and
chemical engineers. The illustrative examples are outstanding and
make this a unique and special book." -John D. McKenna, Ph.D.,
Principal, ETS, Inc., Roanoke, Virginia "The authors have adeptly
argued that basic science courses-particularly those concerned with
mathematics-should be taught to engineers by engineers. Also, books
adopted for use in such courses should also be written by
engineers. The readers of this book will acquire an understanding
and appreciation of the numerous mathematical methods that are
routinely employed by practicing engineers. Furthermore, this
introductory text on optimization attempts to address a void that
exists in college engineering curricula. I recommend this book
without reservation; it is a library 'must' for engineers of all
disciplines." -Kenneth J. Skipka, RTP Environmental Associates,
Inc., Westbury, NY, USA Introduction to Optimization for Chemical
and Environmental Engineers presents the introductory fundamentals
of several optimization methods with accompanying practical
engineering applications. It examines mathematical optimization
calculations common to both environmental and chemical engineering
professionals, with a primary focus on perturbation techniques,
search methods, graphical analysis, analytical methods, linear
programming, and more. The book presents numerous illustrative
examples laid out in such a way as to develop the reader's
technical understanding of optimization, with progressively
difficult examples located at the end of each chapter. This book
serves as a training tool for students and industry professionals
alike. FEATURES Examines optimization concepts and methods used by
environmental and chemical engineering practitioners. Presents
solutions to real-world scenarios/problems at the end of each
chapter. Offers a pragmatic approach to the application of
mathematical tools to assist the reader in grasping the role of
optimization in engineering problem-solving situations. Provides
numerous illustrative examples. Serves as a text for introductory
courses, or as a training tool forindustry professionals.
