Elements of Chemical Reaction Engineering

The Definitive Guide to Chemical Reaction Engineering Problem-Solving -- With Updated Content and More Active Learning

For  decades, H. Scott Fogler's Elements of Chemical Reaction Engineering  has been the world's dominant chemical reaction engineering text. This  Sixth Edition and integrated Web site deliver a more compelling active  learning experience than ever before. Using sliders and interactive  examples in Wolfram, Python, POLYMATH, and MATLAB, students can explore  reactions and reactors by running realistic simulation experiments.

Writing  for today's students, Fogler provides instant access to information,  avoids extraneous details, and presents novel problems linking theory to  practice. Faculty can flexibly define their courses, drawing on updated  chapters, problems, and extensive Professional Reference Shelf web  content at diverse levels of difficulty.

The book thoroughly  prepares undergraduates to apply chemical reaction kinetics and physics  to the design of chemical reactors. And four advanced chapters address  graduate-level topics, including effectiveness factors. To support the  field's growing emphasis on chemical reactor safety, each chapter now  ends with a practical safety lesson.
Updates throughout the book  reflect current theory and practice and emphasize safetyNew discussions  of molecular simulations and stochastic modelingIncreased emphasis on  alternative energy sources such as solar and biofuelsThorough reworking  of three chapters on heat effects Full chapters on nonideal reactors,  diffusion limitations, and residence time distribution
