Chemical Reactor Design, Optimization, and Scaleup
by: E. Bruce Nauman
Abstract: This is the modern guide to chemical reactors. In the best professional sourcebook on chemical reactors ever written, world-class expert Bruce Nauman provides tools, information, and hands-on expertise to make important engineering tasks and decisions easier. Clearly and in depth, "Chemical Reactor Design, Optimization, and Scaleup" provides: up-to-date information to help chemical and process engineers save time, money, and materials; decision-aiding coverage of every aspect of selection, design factors and parameters, optimization, and scaleup; a convenient source of explained formulas, principles, and data; numerous detailed examples; worked mathematical solutions; the latest information on reactor design for biochemicals and polymers, as well as other newer and standard substances. This book helps to design and specify chemical reactors confidently, with state-of-the-art skills.
