Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
When this book first appeared in 1981, a reviewer writing in Chemistry in Britain commented I enjoyed reading this book and would recommend it to teachers of the subject...''. The book is now available in paperback at less than half the price of the hardcover edition, thus bringing it within the reach of students. Intended as an extension to the normal introductory reactor engineering course, the text is based on a lecture course in practical reactor design and aims to teach students how to design and specify reactors or to know the advanced techniques by which this is done. Reactor design is concerned with many aspects. Hence the text touches on a multitude of disciplines: statistics, economics, optimization, control and safety as well as those subjects traditionally thought of as reactor design. The book includes a set of interactive computer-based exercises which enable the student to discover for himself the major characteristics of the various reactor types. CONTENTS: Chapter 1. Chemical Kinetics and Reactor Design Principles. 2. Modelling of Reactors. 3. Reactor Laboratory Studies in Process Development. 4. The Planning of Experiments. 5. The Pilot Stage. 6.
