Micro Process Engineering: A Handbook

Micro Process Engineering: A Handbook is a handbook that explains the science behind micro process engineering. Micro process engineering is a rapidly expanding field in the realm of chemical engineering as systems become increasingly complex and miniaturised.. This is an English-language encyclopedia published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd. The handbook was edited by Volker Hessel from the IMM Institut fur Mikrotechnik Mainz, Professor Jaap C. Schouten from the Eindhoven University of Technology, Prof. Dr. Albert Renken from the Ecole Polytechnique Federale and Jun-ichi Yoshida from Kyoto University.

The structure of the handbook comprises three volumes which are subdivided into parts which focus on areas of micro process engineering. The topics include: the production of fine and bulk chemicals, sensing and analysis, process design and control—especially the fluid dynamics governing this field. The handbook shows micro process engineering as a very broad field including elements of physics, chemistry and engineering. (see Micro Process Engineering for more detail on this).
