Summary:

This long-awaited, revised and updated reference/text combines a thorough description of the origin and application of fundamental chemical kinetics through an assessment of realistic reactor problems with an expanded discussion of kinetics and its relation to chemical thermodynamics -- sets exercises that range from simple applications of equations and concepts developed in the text to open-ended situations drawing on creative thinking and adds a host of worked-out illustrations and a notation list after each chapter. Retaining the careful organization and logical progression of ideas that characterized the first edition, the Second Edition of Reaction Kinetics and Reactor Design studies chain and polymerization reactions in greater depth...contains new material on microbial and enzyme kinetics and adsorption-desorption theory...streamlines the presentation of the derivations arising from the kinetic theory of gases...addresses transport effect in catalytic reactions...explains gas-solid noncatalytic reactions...covers the development of two-phase reactor theory based on plug flow, mixing cell, and dispersion models...introduces theory and design of fluid slurry and trickle beds...examines catalyst deactivation phenomena, ion exchange, and chromatographic reactors...and more.
