Infos

This books format follows an applications-oriented text and serves
as a training tool for individuals in education and industry
involved directly, or indirectly, with chemical reactors. It
addresses both technical and calculational problems in this field.
While this text can be complimented with texts on chemical kinetics
and/or reactor design, it also stands alone as a self-teaching
aid.

The first part serves as an introduction to the subject title
and contains chapters dealing with history, process variables,
basic operations, kinetic principles, and conversion variables. The
second part of the book addresses traditional reactor analysis;
chapter topics include batch, CSTRs, tubular flow reactors, plus a
comparison of these classes of reactors. Part 3 keys on reactor
applications that include non-ideal reactors: thermal effects,
interpretation of kinetic data, and reactor design. The book
concludes with other reactor topics; chapter titles include
catalysis, catalytic reactors, other reactions and reactors, and
ABET-related topics. An extensive Appendix is also included

Rezensionen

"The book also reviews Accreditation Board for Engineering
and Technology (ABET) topics as they apply to chemical reactors,
making it beneficial for engineers who are preparing to take the
Professional Engineer (PE) exam." (Chemical
Engineering Progress, 1 April 2013)
