Features: This book systematically presents the fundamental methods for the design, optimization, and scale-up of chemical reactors, reflecting the latest advancements and trends in this field abroad. The content primarily includes: the design, optimization, and scale-up of ideal reactors (batch reactors, plug flow reactors, and continuously stirred tank reactors); thermodynamics and kinetics of chemical reactions; the design, optimization, and scale-up of practical reactors (homogeneous and heterogeneous); biochemical reaction engineering and polymer reaction engineering; and the transient behavior of chemical reactors. The book is divided into 15 chapters. Each chapter contains numerous examples and exercises, and provides computer programs for the main numerical methods used in the design, optimization, and scale-up of chemical reactors. Working through these examples and solving the exercises will help deepen the understanding of fundamental principles and correctly master the design calculation methods. The book covers: the design, optimization, and scale-up of ideal reactors; thermodynamics and kinetics of chemical reactions; the design, optimization, and scale-up of practical reactors; biochemical reaction engineering and polymer reaction engineering; and the transient behavior of chemical reactors.
