Chemical Reaction Engineering

The text provides a balanced approach to the understanding of: (i) both homogeneous and heterogeneous reacting systems, and (ii) both chemical reaction engineering and chemical reactor engineering. Completion of the entire text will give the reader a good introduction to the fundamentals of chemical reaction engineering and provide a basis for extensions into other nontraditional uses of these analyses. This compact yet comprehensive book covers the matter required for a basic understanding of chemical reaction engineering. The principles of reaction engineering are simply and clearly presented and illustrative problems are used to demonstrate how these principles are practically applied. This reference textbook is an essential reading for all students, teachers, professionals, researchers and industrialists involved with chemical engineering, biochemical engineering, environmental science, microbiology, biotechnology and life sciences. It also caters to the requirement of the syllabus prescribed by various Indian universities for undergraduate and postgraduate students pursuing these courses.
