Combining reaction kinetics with reactor design, Reaction Engineering provides the information necessary for the design and operation of the reactor required for the production of many chemicals.
The reactor is the device where the reactions are carried out and constitutes the most important process of the chemical plant. The economical, safe and environmentally friendly operation of the plant is highly dependent on the selection and design of the reactor.
Reactor design is obtained from simultaneous solutions of equations (mostly differential equations) obtained by considering mass and energy balances, chemical kinetic (reaction rate expression, etc.) information together. As a result, in the design of a reactor, first of all, it is necessary to know the reactor type and the rate expressions of the reactions occurring in the reactor.
Different products can be produced from the same reagents by using different catalysts. Therefore, the development of catalysts in reaction engineering is also a very important issue. The most important feature of the catalyst is that it increases the reaction rate considerably compared to the case when the catalyst is not used.
On the other hand, the designs of bioreactors, which include biochemical reactions using enzymes and microorganisms, are also among the important issues in reaction engineering.
In this book, which was written with the aim of giving the basic principles of Reaction Engineering:
• Equilibrium in chemical reactions, determination of reaction rate, reaction efficiency and selectivity,
• Preparation of catalysts, determination of their properties, rate limiting steps in catalytic reactions, effects of internal and external mass transfers in catalytic reactions, deactivation of catalysts,
• Selection criteria and designs of chemical reactors,
• Biochemical reactions, enzyme and microbial kinetics, mass transfer processes in biochemical reactions and bioreactor design,
• Matlab and Polymath applications in Reaction Engineering
and the necessary information for reactor design is presented to the reader with sample problems.
