Introduction to Chemical Engineering Kinetics and Reactor Design

Beschreibung

The Second Edition features new problems that engagereaders in contemporary reactor design Highly praised by instructors, students, and chemical engineers,Introduction to Chemical Engineering Kinetics & ReactorDesign has been extensively revised and updated in thisSecond Edition. The text continues to offer a solidbackground in chemical reaction kinetics as well as in material andenergy balances, preparing readers with the foundation necessaryfor success in the design of chemical reactors. Moreover, itreflects not only the basic engineering science, but also themathematical tools used by today's engineers to solveproblems associated with the design of chemical reactors. Introduction to Chemical Engineering Kinetics & ReactorDesign enables readers to progressively build their knowledgeand skills by applying the laws of conservation of mass and energyto increasingly more difficult challenges in reactor design. Thefirst one-third of the text emphasizes general principles ofchemical reaction kinetics, setting the stage for the subsequenttreatment of reactors intended to carry out homogeneous reactions,heterogeneous catalytic reactions, and biochemical transformations.Topics include: * Thermodynamics of chemical reactions * Determination of reaction rate expressions * Elements of heterogeneous catalysis * Basic concepts in reactor design and ideal reactor models * Temperature and energy effects in chemical reactors * Basic and applied aspects of biochemical transformations andbioreactors About 70% of the problems in this Second Edition are new.These problems, frequently based on articles culled from theresearch literature, help readers develop a solid understanding ofthe material. Many of these new problems also offer readersopportunities to use current software applications such as Mathcadand MATLAB¯®. By enabling readers to progressively build and apply theirknowledge, the Second Edition of Introduction to ChemicalEngineering Kinetics & Reactor Design remains a premiertext for students in chemical engineering and a valuable resourcefor practicing engineers.
