Description

Designed for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate courses in kinetics and reactor theory, this text presents a treatment of chemical engineering kinetics and reaction design. It takes a structured approach to solving reaction engineering problems - seeking to encourage students to solve problems through reasoning rather than memorization. New features in this second edition are homework problems using real reactions and real data, which are graded in difficulty, and material on emerging technologies in chemical engineering, including micro-electronics (CVD, etching and boat reactors), biotechnology (microbial growth kinetics and chemostat design) and polymerization kinetics. The overall aim is to enable students to solve reaction engineering problems using software packages.

Table of Contents

  • Mole balances
  • conversion and reactor sizing
  • rate laws and stoichiometry
  • isothermal reactor design
  • collection and analysis of rate data
  • catalysis and catalytic reactors
  • non-elementary homogeneous reactions
  • non-isothermal reactor design
  • multiple reactors
  • external diffusion effects on heterogeneous reactions
  • diffusion and reaction in porous catalysts
  • multiphase reactors
  • distributions of residence time for chemical resources
  • analysis of non-ideal reactors.
