Offering strategies to analyze and interpret kinetic data for homogeneous and heterogeneous reactions, this text/reference presents practical design procedures, rate equations, and analytical models for improved reactor performance.

Features case studies and worked examples to illustrate key concepts in the text!

Chemical Reactor Design contains

• guidelines for scaleup of laboratory and pilot plant results
• methods to derive the correct reaction order, activation energy, or kinetic model from laboratory tests
• theories, correlations, and practical examples for 2- and 3-phase reaction systems, including bubble columns, slurry reactions, trickle-led reactors, and fluidized beds

Chemical Reactor Design is a comprehensive reference for chemical, industrial, mechanical, petroleum, plant, process, and design engineers, and an essential text for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in these disciplines.
