Chemical Reaction Engineering: A Computer-Aided Approach

A“Follow step-by-step explanations to understand mathematical models – algebraic and differential equations – of chemical reactors and how numerical models workin computer implementation. Learn the basics behind current user-friendly tools in numerical simulation and optimization of reactor systems (Python, Matlab, Julia and gPROMS). Discover how to select the right algorithm for specific reactor models from homogenous to multiphase systems and structured reactors in detailed discussions at the end of each chapter. In this second edition, 20 solved example simulations performed in MATLAB and Python are included for demonstration purposes.

New: Structured reactors and unsteady state reactor systems, including surface dynamics in multiphase systems, 15 further exercises.

Physicochemical fundamentals of reactor modelling.

Mathematical models for reactor design and numerous examples.
