Fundamentals of Reaction Engineering

EBook Description: The fundamentals of reaction engineering book covers the basic elements of chemical reactor design. Material and energy balances have been derived assuming simple flow patterns: perfect mixing and plug flow. Non-ideal flow is briefly discussed. Exothermic-reversible reactions have been discussed in the context of staged reactor systems. Heat and mass transfer to/from catalyst pellets has been introduced, emphasizing the formulation of global reaction rate expressions. Several different ways of modelling fixed bed catalytic reactors has been described. A companion volume presents worked examples.

This book will be useful to scientists and engineers who want a simple introduction to the finite volume method. A series of computer codes are given on the companion website along with worked solutions to exercises. This book is a companion text to 'Introductory Finite Difference Methods for PDEs'.

Engineering Thermodynamics Solutions

Thermodynamics is an essential subject in the study of the behaviour of gases and vapours in real engineering applications.

Fundamentals of Reaction Engineering

This is the companion volume for the introductory text �Fundamentals of Reaction Engineering�, which covers the basic elements of chemical reactor design. The solved problems cover material and energy balances in simple flow systems and non-ideal flow. Exothermic-reversible reactions have been handled with solutions involving staged reactor systems. Problems on heat and mass transfer to/from catalyst pellets have been included, with emphasis on the formulation of global reaction rate expressions and different ways of modelling fixed bed catalytic reactors.
