Elements of Chemical Reaction Engineering

Description

The Essential Textbook for Mastering Chemical Reaction Engineering–Now Fully Updated with Expanded Coverage of Electrochemical Reactors

H. Scott Fogler’s Elements of Chemical Reaction Engineering, now in its seventh edition, continues to set the standard as the leading textbook in chemical reaction engineering. This edition, coauthored by Bryan R. Goldsmith, Eranda Nikolla, Nirala Singh, still offers Fogler’s engaging and active learning experience, with updated content and expanded coverage of electrochemical reactors.

Reflecting current theories and practices, and with a continuing emphasis on safety and sustainability, this edition includes expanded sections on molecular simulation methods, analysis of experimental reactor data, and catalytic reactions.

Leveraging the power of Wolfram, Python, POLYMATH, and MATLAB, students can explore the intricacies of reactions and reactors through realistic simulation experiments. This hands-on approach allows students to clearly understand the practical applications of theoretical concepts.

This book prepares undergraduate students to apply chemical reaction kinetics and physics to the design of chemical reactors. Advanced chapters cover graduate-level topics, including diffusion and reaction models, residence time distribution, and tools to model non-ideal reactors.

The seventh edition includes

• An expanded section on molecular simulation methods and potential energy surfaces
• Updated examples of experimental reactor data and its analysis
• Detailed discussion of definitions in catalysis and examples of catalytic reactions
• Additional examples and expanded section on surface reaction mechanisms and microkinetic modeling
• A new chapter on electrochemical reactors with example problems, reflecting the growing importance of this field in renewable energy and industrial processes
