Chemical Reaction Engineering and Reactor Technology

The latest volume in our highly respected Chemical Industries Series, this advanced text defines the qualitative aspects that affect the selection of a industrial chemical reactor and couples various reactor models to the case-specific kinetic expressions for various chemical processes. Special attention is given to the exact formulation and derivation of mass and energy balances; numeric solutions accompany each formula. A collection of exercises and solved problems is included. Of continuing value to professionals beyond the classroom, mathematical methods and numerical strategies, estimation methods for physical properties, as well as correlation equations are summarized in the appendices of the book.
