Chemical reaction engineering is that engineering activity concerned with the exploitation of chemical reactions on a commercial scale. Its goal is the successful design and operation of chemical reactors. The purpose of this work is to help the engineer find an answer to a host of questions faced in a typical work situation, such as: What information is needed to attack a problem, how best to obtain it, and then how to select a reasonable design from the many available alternatives. To this end, the author places an emphasis on qualitative arguments, simple design methods, graphical procedures, and a frequent comparison of capabilities of the major reactor types This new edition is including topics on biochemical systems, reactors with fluidized solids, gas/liquid reactors, and more on nonideal flow. Also, new problems and over 80 illustrative examples that reinforce the material. Contents: Overview of Reaction Engineering - Homogenous Reactions in Ideal Reactors - Flow Patterns, Contacting, and Non-Ideal Flow - Reactions Catalyzed by Solids - Non-Catalytic Systems - Biochemical Reaction System
