Chemical Reactor Analysis and Applications for the Practicing Engineer

This books format follows an applications-oriented text and servesas a training tool for individuals in education and industryinvolved directly, or indirectly, with chemical reactors. Itaddresses both technical and calculational problems in this field. While this text can be complimented with texts on chemical kineticsand/or reactor design, it also stands alone as a self-teachingaid.
The first part serves as an introduction to the subject titleand contains chapters dealing with history, process variables, basic operations, kinetic principles, and conversion variables. Thesecond part of the book addresses traditional reactor analysis; chapter topics include batch, CSTRs, tubular flow reactors, plus acomparison of these classes of reactors. Part 3 keys on reactorapplications that include non-ideal reactors: thermal effects, interpretation of kinetic data, and reactor design. The bookconcludes with other reactor topics; chapter titles includecatalysis, catalytic reactors, other reactions and reactors, andABET-related topics. An extensive Appendix is also included
