opportunities
for chemical engineers are moving away from petroleum and petrochemicals toward
new applications such as materials processing, pharmaceuticals, and foods.
Chemical reactors remain at the center of any chemical process; they are
essential to improving existing processes and to designing new ones. Today and
in the future chemical engineers must be able to use their knowledge of reactors
in combination with other skills in order to think creatively and strategically
about new processes and growing applications.
The Engineering of Chemical
Reactions addresses these issues by focusing on the analysis of chemical
reactors while simultaneously providing a description of industrial chemical
processes and the strategies by which they operate. Ideal for upper-level
undergraduate courses in chemical reactor engineering and kinetics, this text
provides a concise, up-to-date alternative to similar texts. In addition to the
analysis of simple chemical reactors, it considers more complex situations such
as multistage reactors and reactor-separation systems. Energy
management
and the role of mass transfer in chemical reactors are also integrated into the
text.
The evolution of chemical engineering from petroleum refining, through
petrochemicals and polymers, to new applications is described so that students
can see the relationships between past, present, and future
technologies. Applications such as catalytic processes, environmental modeling,
biological reactions, reactions involving solids, oxidation, combustion, safety,
polymerization, and multiphase reactors are also described.
The text uses a
notation of reaction stoichiometry and reactor mass balances which is kept
simple so that students can see the principles of reactor design
without becoming lost in complex special cases. Numerical methods are used
throughout to consider more complex problems. Worked examples are given
throughout the text, and over 300 homework problems are included. Both the
examples and problems cover real-world
chemistry and kinetics.
