Chemical Reaction Engineering by Octave Levenspiel

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Small chemical reactors offer a number of benefits compared to large reactors, such as better heat transfer and mixing. While small batch vessels are impractical at the industrial scale, continuous flow reactors can provide the benefits of small physical size without the practical difficulties of multiple vessels. This article considers the four basic needs of flow reactors (volumetric capacity, heat transfer, plug flow and mixing) ...

While as few as three tanks in series have been employed by some users, a substantial improvement in plug flow (in terms of residence time distribution) is observed by using ten stages

We a working to save your time and money. Just how useful is a half century old textbook. Excellent resource for first look informing customers.

Pace is leisurely, and where needed, time is taken to consider why certain assumptions are made,...to develop new ways of thinking and new intuitions.
