Download free eBook: “Fundamentals of Reaction Engineering – Worked Examples” by Rafael Kandiyoti in pdf format. This introductory text covers the basic elements of chemical reactor design.
Book Description
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.
