Reaction Kinetics and Reactor Design, Second Edition

Front Cover
CRC Press, Jan 3, 2000 - Science - 752 pages
This text combines a description of the origin and use of fundamental chemical kinetics through an assessment of realistic reactor problems with an expanded discussion of kinetics and its relation to chemical thermodynamics. It provides exercises, open-ended situations drawing on creative thinking, and worked-out examples. A solutions manual is also available to instructors.
