• Includes chapters covering experimental techniques and practical guidelines for lab-scale testing of multiphase reactors
• Includes mathematical content focused on design equations and empirical relationships characterizing different multiphase reactor types together with an assortment of computational tools
• Involves detailed coverage of multiphase reactor applications such as Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, fuel processing for fuel cells, hydrotreating of oil fractions and biofuels processing

About the Author:

Zeynep Ilsen Önsan received her B.Sc degree (1968) in chemical engineering from former Robert College (now Bogazici University), Istanbul-Turkey, and her Ph.D. degree and D.I.C. (1972) in chemical engineering and heterogeneous catalysis from Imperial College, London-UK. She pioneered in establishing heterogeneous catalysis research in Turkey at Bogazici University, directed several sizeable research and institution-building projects, and has 40 years of teaching and research experience in heterogeneous catalysis and chemical reaction engineering and 25 years of research collaboration and teaching in bioreaction engineering. Dr. Önsan is a professor of chemical engineering at Bogazici University and has 85 research papers including 74 articles in SCI journals and a book chapter coauthored with Dr. Avci on reactor design for fuel processing.

Ahmet Kerim Avci received BS, MS and PhD degrees in chemical engineering from Bogazici University in 1996, 1997 and 2003, respectively. He worked as an R&D manager in Procter & Gamble, Brussels-Belgium. In 2005, he joined chemical engineering department of Bogazici University, where he is currently a full professor. He is the leader of numerous research projects funded by governmental institutes and industry, and is the author of more than 25 papers in refereed SCI journals. He is the holder of Distinguished Young Scientist Fellowship (Turkish Academy of Sciences, 2009), Excellence in Research Award (Bogazici University Foundation, 2010), Eser Tumen Outstanding Achievement Award for Young Scientists (2011) and Professor Mustafa N. Parlar Research Incentive Award (2011).
