Chemical Reaction Engineering 3rd Edition

By (author) Levenspiel Octave
Short description/annotation:
Chemical reaction engineering is concerned with the exploitation of chemical reactions on a commercial scale. Ita s goal is the successful design and operation of chemical reactors. This text emphasizes qualitative arguments, simple design methods, graphical procedures, and frequent comparison of capabilities of the major reactor types.
Description:

Chemical Reaction Engineering, Third Edition helps students learn how to answer reactor design questions reliably and effectively. To accomplish this, the text emphasizes qualitative arguments, simple design methods, graphical procedures, and frequent comparison of capabilities of major reactor types. This approach helps students develop a strong intuitive sense for good design.

Description:
Die 3. überarbeitete Auflage ist ein zuverlässiger und effektiver Fragenkatalog für Studenten. Mit dem Schwerpunkt auf qualitativen Argumenten, einfachen Designmethoden, graphischen Verfahren und der Leistungsstärke der wichtigsten Reaktortypen wird dem Lernenden ein Gefühl für gutes Design vermittelt. Mit über 400 Problemstellungen - 75% sind neues Material - und mehr als 80 anschaulichen Beispielen. Die Vermittlung des Stoffes erfolgt fortschreitend vom Einfachen zum Komplexen. Wo erforderlich, wird erklärt, warum bestimmte Annahmen getroffen wruden, warum ein alternativer Ansatz nicht angewandt wurde und welche Grenzen in echten Situationen bestehen. Ebenso wird eine Reihe neuer Themen behandelt, wie z.B. biochemische Systeme, Reaktoren mit quasi-flüssigen Brennstoffen, Gas-/Flüssigreaktoren etc. (09/98)
