Chemical Reactions and Chemical Reactors

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Chemical Reactions and Chemical Reactors follows a targeted approach to key concepts, providing readers with more complete coverage of the fundamental topics than other books in the field. Heterogeneous chemistry is introduced early and then chemical kinetics is treated in depth in an integrated fashion that emphasizes the fundamental tools of kinetic analysis. Real chemistry and industrial examples are also used in many of the examples and problems, making the topics more relevant and interesting to the reader.

Dieser Band behandelt die Grundlagen der chemischen Reaktionstechnik ausführlicher, als man es von anderen Büchern auf diesem Gebiet gewohnt ist. Heterogene Reaktionen werden früh eingeführt und die chemische Kinetik wird tiefgründig, mit besonderem Blick auf die Analysenverfahren, besprochen. Ein Großteil der Beispiele und Übungsaufgaben beruht auf realen Situationen in der Industrie - so wird der Text für den Leser interessanter, und der gelernte Stoff kann leichter in die Praxis übertragen werden.
