Summary This is a unique book with nearly 1000 problems and 50 case studies on open-ended problems in every key topic in chemical engineering that helps to better prepare chemical engineers for the future.℗ The term "open-ended problem" basically describes an approach to the solution of a problem and/or situation for which there is not a unique solution.℗ The Introduction to the general subject of open-ended problems is followed by 22 chapters, each of which addresses a traditional chemical engineering or chemical engineering-related topic.℗ Each of these chapters contain a brief overview of the subj
