Green Chemical Engineering
Beschreibung
The second edition of this textbook, published more than a decade after the first edition (2014), incorporates extensive academic feedback to introduce new perspectives, topics, and chapters. The book is divided into two sections: Chemical Kinetics and Reaction Engineering and Applications to Green Chemical Processes. The chapters cover green chemical engineering, chemical kinetics, homogeneous and heterogeneous reactor design, and advanced topics such as membrane steam reformers for hydrogen production and biofuel reactor design.
Key Features:
- Covers the fundamental principles of reaction kinetics and reaction engineering
- Presents methods for estimating kinetic parameters and graphical procedures for reactor design from batch data, with illustrative examples
- Discusses membrane steam reformers to produce hydrogen (green energy) from natural gas
- Includes the design and operation of batch, semi-batch, and flow reactors to produce biodiesel (green fuel)
- Utilizes MATLAB software to develop computer codes for solving numerous examples and homework problems
This textbook is valuable resource for teaching and research in green chemical processes.
