This book deals with the design and scaleup of reactors that are used for the production of industrial chemicals or fuels or for the removal of pollutants from process streams. It reviews some of the simple models for heterogeneous reactions and presents design equations for ideal reactors.

Featuring case studies and worked examples that illustrate key concepts, this book contains guidelines for scaleup of laboratory and pilot plant results, methods to derive the correct reaction order, activation energy, or kinetic model from laboratory tests, and theories, correlations, and practical examples for 2- and 3-phase reaction systems.

Providing four sections: fluid mechanics; heat transfer; mass transfer and equilibrium; stages and operations involving particulate solids, this book offers a balanced treatment of theory and engineering practice with many practical illustrative examples.
