Essentials of Chemical Reaction Engineering Upplaga 1

Learn Chemical Reaction Engineering through Reasoning, Not Memorization

 

Essentials of Chemical Reaction Engineering is a complete yet concise, modern introduction to chemical reaction engineering for undergraduate students. While the classic Elements of Chemical Reaction Engineering, Fourth Edition, is still available, H. Scott Fogler distilled that larger text into this volume of essential topics for undergraduate students.

 

Foglers unique way of presenting the material helps students gain a deep, intuitive understanding of the fields essentials through reasoning, not memorization. He especially focuses on important new energy and safety issues, ranging from solar and biomass applications to the avoidance of runaway reactions.

 

Thoroughly classroom tested, this text reflects feedback from hundreds of students at the University of Michigan and other leading universities. It also provides new resources to help students discover how reactors behave in diverse situationsincluding many realistic, interactive simulations on DVD-ROM.

 

Coverage includes

Crucial safety topics, including ammonium nitrate CSTR explosions, nitroaniline and T2 Laboratories batch reactor runaways, and SAChE/CCPS resourcesGreater emphasis on safety: following the recommendations of the Chemical Safety Board (CSB) 2 case studies from plant explosions and two homework problems which discuss another explosion.Solar energy conversions: chemical, thermal, and catalytic water spillingAlgae production for biomassMole balances: batch, continuous-flow, and industrial reactorsConversion and reactor sizing: design equations, reactors in series, and moreRate laws and stoichiometryIsothermal reactor design: conversion and molar flow ratesCollection and analysis of rate dataMultiple reactions: parallel, series, and complex reactions; membrane reactors; and moreReaction mechanisms, pathways, bioreactions, and bioreactorsCatalysis and catalytic reactorsNonisothermal reactor design: steady-state energy balance and adiabatic PFR applications Steady-state nonisothermal reactor design: flow reactors with heat exchange  About the DVD-ROM

 

The DVD contains six additional, graduate-level chapters covering catalyst decay, external diffusion effects on heterogeneous reactions, diffusion and reaction, distribution of residence times for reactors, models for non-ideal reactors, and radial and axial temperature variations in tubular reactions. Extensive additional DVD resources include:

Summary notes, additional examples, derivations, audio commentary, and self-tests Web modules applying key concepts to standard and nonstandard problems, such as the use of wetlands to degrade toxic chemicals I...
