Download or read book Chemical Reaction and Reactor Design written by Hiroo Tominaga and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 1997 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chemical Reaction and Reactor Design begins with a discussion of chemical reactions, emphasizing chemical equilibrium and rate of reaction and proceeds to the theory and practice of heat and mass transfer, and important considerations in the design of chemical reactors. The final section of the book provides detailed case studies from the chemical industry covering the six chemical processes: naphtha cracking, steam reforming, epoxy resin production, hydro-treating, fluid catalytic cracking and flue gas desulfurization. The comprehensive coverage of theories of chemical reaction and their application to reactor design provided here will be of value to chemical engineers, industrial chemists and researchers in these fields.
