Chemical Reactor Design, Optimization, and Scaleup
von E. Bruce NaumanThe classic reference, now expanded and updated
Chemical Reactor Design, Optimization, and Scaleup is theauthoritative sourcebook on chemical reactors. This new SecondEdition consolidates the latest information on current optimizationand scaleup methodologies, numerical methods, and biochemical andpolymer reactions. It provides the comprehensive tools andinformation to help readers design and specify chemical reactorsconfidently, with state-of-the-art skills. This authoritativeguide:
* Covers the fundamentals and principles of chemical reactordesign, along with advanced topics and applications
* Presents techniques for dealing with varying physicalproperties in reactors of all types and purposes
* Includes a completely new chapter on meso-, micro-, andnano-scale reactors that addresses such topics as axial diffusionin micro-scale reactors and self-assembly of nano-scalestructures
* Explains the method of false transients, a numerical solutiontechnique
* Includes suggestions for further reading, problems, and, whenappropriate, scaleup or scaledown considerations at the end of eachchapter to illustrate industrial applications
* Serves as a ready reference for explained formulas, principles, and data
This is the definitive hands-on reference for practicingprofessionals and an excellent textbook for courses in chemicalreactor design. It is an essential resource for chemical engineersin the process industries, including petrochemicals, biochemicals, microelectronics, and water treatment.
