Numerical Methods for Chemical


Engineers with MAUAB Applications
Alkis Constantinides & Navid Mostoufi

Master numerical methods using MATLAB, today's leading software for problem solving
This complete guide to numerical methods in chemical engineering is the first to take full advantage
of MATLAB's powerful calculation environment. Every chapter contains several examples using
general MATLAB functions that implement the method and can also be applied to many other
problems in the same category.
The authors begin by introducing the solution of nonlinear equations using several standard
approaches, including methods of successive substitution and linear interpolation; the Wegstein
methcd; the Newton-Raphson method; the Eigenvalue method; and synthetic division algorithms.
With these fundamentals in hand, they move on to simultaneous linear algebraic equations,
covering matrix and vector operations; Cramer's rule; Gauss methods; the Jacobi method; and
the characteristic-value problem. Additional coverage includes:
• Finite difference methods, and interpolation of equally and unequally spaced points
• Numerical differentiation and integration, including differentiation by backward, forward, and
central finite differences; Newton-Cotes formulas; and the Gauss Quadrature
• Two detailed chapters on ordinary and partial differential equations
• Linear and nonlinear regression analyses, including least squares, estimated vector of parameters,
method of steepest descent, Gauss-Newton method, Marquardt Method, Newton Method,
and multiple nonlinear regression
The numerical methods covered here represent virtually all of those commonly used by practicing
chemical engineers. The focus on MATL.AB enables readers to accomplish more, with less complexity,
than was possible with traditional FORTRAN. For those unfamiliar with MATLAB, a brief introduction is
provided as an Appendix.

The accompanying CD-ROM contains MATLAB 5.0 (and higher) source code for more than 60
/ examples, methods, and function scripts covered in the book. These programs are compatible
with all three operating systems:
