Chemical Reaction and Reactor Design - Tapa dura

Chemical reactions and the reactors are one of the key factors of consideration in chemical engineering. The introductory section of this book deals with chemical equilibrium and the rate of reaction. Later chapters cover heat and mass transfer along flat plates, in circular tubes and in liquids and gases. Contents also include coverage of reactorsystems, including homogeneous and heterogeneous systems, a case study from the industrial sector, and six different chemical processes.

Chemical Reaction and Reactor Design begins with a discussion of chemical reactions, emphasizing chemical equilibrium and rate of reaction and proceeds to the theory and practice of heat and mass transfer, and important considerations in the design of chemical reactors. The final section of the book provides detailed case studies from the chemical industry covering the six chemical processes: naphtha cracking, steam reforming, epoxy resin production, hydro-treating, fluid catalytic cracking and flue gas desulfurization. The comprehensive coverage of theories of chemical reaction and their application to reactor design provided here will be of value to chemical engineers, industrial chemists and researchers in these fields.
