R. Westerterp, W. P. M. Van Swaaij, and A. A. C. M. Beenackers comes from the Chemical Reaction Engineering Laboratories at Twente University of Technology, Enschede, The Netherlands. This is a comprehensive handbook on the design and operation of chemical reactors, which are vital elements in every manufacturing process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book offers an introduction to modern literature and covers in depth the relevant theory of chemical reactors. The theory is illustrated by numerous worked examples typical to chemical reaction engineering practice, encompassing research, development, design, and operation. These examples range from fine chemicals to large-scale production and from water purification to metallurgical processes. The text begins with simple homogenous model reactors and progresses to the complicated, multi-phase, heterogeneous reactors encountered in reality. All examples are based on the authors' industrial experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMuch effort is dedicated to the behaviour of reactors in practice, as well as the capacity, yield, and selectivity of the reactor. The book is thoroughly indexed and cross-referenced, providing a valuable resource for readers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis edition is particularly useful to undergraduate and graduate students studying chemical reactors.

Currently, they are jointly responsible for research in chemical reaction engineering and process development at Twente University. Several new reactor types and processes have been developed at their institute, with present research interests including gasification, fluidization, and gas-liquid reactors, three-phase reactors, high-pressure technology in chemical reaction engineering, thermal behaviour of heterogeneous reactors, and computer design and economic evaluation of reaction units and chemical plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47462693667052,"sku":"9780471917304","price":760.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780471917304-chemical-reactor-design-and-operation.jpg?v=1775021329"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/k-roel-westerterp.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
