The Definitive Guide to Chemical Reaction EngineeringProblem-Solving - With Updated Content and More Active Learning Fordecades, H. Scott Fogler's Elements of Chemical Reaction Engineering hasbeen the world's dominant chemical reaction engineering text. This SixthEdition and integrated Web site deliver a more compelling active learningexperience than ever before. Using sliders and interactive examples in Wolfram,Python, POLYMATH, and MATLAB, students can explore reactions and reactors byrunning realistic simulation experiments. Writingfor today's students, Fogler provides instant access to information, avoidsextraneous details, and presents novel problems linking theory to practice.Faculty can flexibly define their courses, drawing on updated chapters,problems, and extensive Professional Reference Shelf web content at diverselevels of difficulty. Thebook thoroughly prepares undergraduates to apply chemical reaction kinetics andphysics to the design of chemical reactors. And four advanced chapters addressgraduate-level topics, including effectiveness factors. To support the field'sgrowing emphasis on chemical reactor safety, each chapter now ends with apractical safety lesson. Updates throughout the book reflect current theory and practice and emphasize safety New discussions of molecular simulations and stochastic modeling Increased emphasis on alternative energy sources such as solar and biofuels Thorough reworking of three chapters on heat effects Full chapters on nonideal reactors, diffusion limitations, and residence time distribution Aboutthe Companion Web Site (umich.edu/~elements/6e/index.html) Complete PowerPoint slides for lecture notes for chemical reaction engineering classes Links to additional software, including POLYMATH (TM), MATLAB (TM), Wolfram Mathematica (TM), AspenTech (TM), and COMSOL (TM) Interactive learning resources linked to each chapter, including Learning Objectives, Summary Notes, Web Modules, Interactive Computer Games, Solved Problems, FAQs, additional homework problems, and links to Learncheme Living Example Problems - unique to this book - that provide more than 80 interactive simulations, allowing students to explore the examples and ask "what-if" questions Professional Reference Shelf, which includes advanced content on reactors, weighted least squares, experimental planning, laboratory reactors, pharmacokinetics, wire gauze reactors, trickle bed reactors, fluidized bed reactors, CVD boat reactors, detailed explanations of key derivations, and more Problem-solvingstrategies and insights on creative and critical thinking
