Chemical Reaction and Reactor Design

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. Chemical Reactions and Design of Chemical Reactors (H. Tominaga).

Equilibrium and Reaction Rate (H. Komiyama).

Fundamentals of Heat and Mass Transfer (K. Asano).

Fundamentals of Reactor Design.

Deisgn of an Industrial Reactor.

Index. Introduction, Chemical Equilibrium and Reaction Kinetics, Mass and Heat Transfer, Introduction to Design for Reaction Systems (Classification, Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Reaction System, Control of System), Reactor Design for Industrial Processes (Steam Cracking, Tubular Steam Reforming, Epoxy-resin Production, Hydrotreating, Fluid Catalytic Cracking, Flue Gas Desulphurisation).

Hiroo Tominaga and Masakazu Tamaki are the authors of Chemical Reaction and Reactor Design, published by Wiley. 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.
