Rezensionen / Stimmen
"The book presents the current state-of-the-art technology and can serve as a good starting point for graduates planning to work on gas-liquid or gas-liquid-solid reactors. " (The Chemical Engineer, April 2016)
"The book would help academics to develop course material for process safety studies." (The Chemical Engineer, April 2016)
"Pangarkar is highly recommended: it may even help to minimize the number of blunders on a small scale." (N. Kuipers, April 2016)
"This book presents excellent discussion of the latest literature on the subject and brings out the gaps that need to be bridged. Simple concepts have been used to provide straightforward spreadsheet based design procedures.............I strongly recommend the book to colleagues in both the academic and industrial sectors." (The Catalyst 2016)
