N1  - Chemical Reaction Engineering: Essentials, Exercises and Examples presents the essentials of kinetics, reactor design and chemical reaction engineering for undergraduate students. Concise and didactic in its approach, it features over 70 resolved examples and many exercises.

The work is organized in two parts: in the first part kinetics is presented focusing on the reaction rates, the influence of different variables and the determination of specific rate parameters for different reactions both homogeneous and heterogeneous. This section is complemented with the classical kinetic theory and in particular with many examples and exercises. The second part introduces students to the distinction between ideal and non-ideal reactors and presents the basic equations of batch and continuous ideal reactors, as well as specific isothermal and non-isothermal systems. The main emphasis however is on both qualitative and quantitative interpretation by comparing and combining reactors with and without diffusion and mass transfer effects, complemented with several examples and exercises. Finally, non-ideal and multiphase systems are presented, as well as specific topics of biomass thermal processes and heterogeneous reactor analyses. The work closes with a unique section on the application of theory in laboratory practice with kinetic and reactor
experiments.

This textbook will be of great value to undergraduate and graduate students in chemical engineering as well as to graduate students in and researchers of kinetics and catalysis; Includes bibliographical references (pages 675-677) and index
N2  - "A new concise and accessible textbook treating the essentials of kinetics, catalysis and chemical reactor engineering. The didactic approach is suited for undergraduate students in chemical engineering and for students in other exact science and engineering disciplines. Each part of theory is supported with a worked example and a number of exercises are included. This book distinguishes itself from the major textbooks in chemical reactor engineering by the part on laboratory practice that it presents, in which theory is applied and illustrated in kinetic and reactor experiments. Teacher support material is available upon course adoption"--
