| Short description
This applications-oriented text addresses both technical and calculational problems in the field of chemical reactor design. An essential reference for chemical, plant, or mechanical engineers involved directly, or indirectly, with chemical reactors, the book provides an introduction to chemical reactor analysis with coverage of reactor history, process variables, basic operations, kinetic principles, and conversion variables. It offers a comparison of batch, CSTRs, and tubular flow reactors as well as a look at reactor applications that include non-ideal reactors. Catalysis, catalytic reactors, other reactions and reactors, and ABET-related topics are also detailed. With problems, sample exams, and solutions on an accompanying website, the book is also invaluable for students studying for their PE exam.
