Chemical reactors

Knowledge of the design and simulation of chemical reactors is essential for the optimal technical and economic operation of chemical processes. In the new edition of "Chemical Reactors," Jens Hagen provides a proven and accessible introduction to this complex topic and conveys the fundamentals of reaction engineering. All necessary design equations based on material, heat, and momentum balances, taking into account the stoichiometry and kinetics of the reactions, are derived and explained. Each chapter includes fully worked-out examples and exercises with commented solutions. To provide an introduction to the modeling and simulation of chemical reactors, Jens Hagen utilizes the software package POLYMATH, which allows for easily understandable and low-effort numerical problem-solving. The modeling is addressed in a targeted manner.
