This book presents a wealth of knowledge on reaction kinetics and its application to chemical reactor design and operation; and intended as a text for students in technical college and graduate school, and also for scientists and engineers engaged in chemical research and development.
This book is comprised of two parts; reviews of science and engineering as bases· for chemical reactor design; and several examples of specific reactor design practised in petroleum refining, petroleum chemistry, polymer industry or air pollution abatement. 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.
