From the Back Cover
This book provides an introduction to the basic concepts of chemical reactor analysis and design. An introduction to the areas of chemical reactions, reactor classifications and transport phenomena is followed by a summary of the important concepts of thermodynamics that are used in reactor analysis. This introduction is followed by a detailed development of mole balances in ideal reactors, including multiple reactor systems. A detailed explanation of both homogeneous and heterogeneous reaction kinetics is then given, including a discussion of experimental techniques in kinetic data analysis. The energy balance is presented for the common reactor types. The final chapter describes the common techniques used in analyzing non-ideal reactors, including the residence time distribution and mixing effects.
There are many worked examples and case studies presented in the text. Additional problems are given at the back of each chapter.
