USING PYTHON TO SOLVE CHEMICAL ENGINEERING PROBLEMS

This pdf illustrates how to use the programming language Python to solve the problems posed in the book Introduction to Chemical Engineering Computing, Bruce A. Finlayson, Wiley (2006-2014). The material mirrors the use of MATLAB in the book, and solves the examples in Chapters 2, 3, 4, and 8. In addition, a new Appendix F gives summaries of many Python commands and examples. Together with the book, chemical engineering applications are illustrated using Microsoft Excel®, MATLAB®, Aspen Plus®, Comsol Multiphysics®, and Python. This pdf is intended to be used in conjunction with the book, and the treatment using Python mirrors that using MATLAB. Appendix F includes information for setting up Python on your computer.
