Prentice Hall International Series in the Physical and Chemical Engineering Sciences: Elements of Chemical Reaction Engineering

More about the book

The fourth edition of this widely acclaimed book is a thoroughly revised guide to solving real-world chemical reaction engineering problems. It combines authoritative coverage of chemical reaction engineering principles with a strong emphasis on critical thinking and creative problem-solving, utilizing open-ended questions and the Socratic method. The text is clear and well-organized, integrating visuals and computer simulations to aid readers in tackling challenging problems through reasoning rather than rote memorization. It provides comprehensive coverage of fundamental concepts, supported by three styles of problems for each topic to facilitate the application of core skills in real-life scenarios. The updated edition features expanded content on bioreactions, industrial chemistry, and a broader range of applications, incorporating the latest digital techniques such as FEMLAB. Examples span diverse topics, including smog, blood clotting, ethylene oxide production, tissue engineering, antifreeze, cobra bites, and chemical plant safety. Additionally, the accompanying CD-ROM offers numerous enrichment opportunities for students and instructors, with icons throughout the text linking concepts to the digital material for integrated learning and reference.
