Chemical Reaction Engineering, 3rd Edition

Chemical reaction engineering is concerned with the exploitation of chemical reactions on a commercial scale. It's goal is the successful design and operation of chemical reactors. This text emphasizes qualitative arguments, simple design methods, graphical procedures, and frequent comparison of capabilities of the major reactor types. Simple ideas are treated first, and are then extended to the more complex. introduction to reactor design design for single reactions design for parallel reactions potpourri of multiple reactions compartment models the dispersion model the tank-in-series model substrate limiting microbial fermentation product limiting microbial fermentation fluid-fluid reactions: kinetics fluid-particle reactions: design enzyme fermentation solid catalyzed reactions the packed bed catalytic reactor deactivating catalysts
