This book mainly deals with the design of flow reactors for homogeneous reactions. ChE CRE is built upon lecture notes of Chemical Reaction Engineering (CRE) that the author has taught at the undergraduate (UG) level. Few chapters are added toward the latter part of the book, dealing with the basics of heterogeneous chemical reaction engineering. ChE CRE is recommended for teaching the upper undergraduate program when the students have been exposed to stoichiometry, thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, unit operation, and a few numerical techniques. ChE CRE comes with the audio lectures synchronized with the book chapters and is freely downloadable from the web-link prescribed in the book.

Explains the design of flow reactors for homogeneous reactions Includes basics of heterogeneous chemical reaction engineering Discusses stoichiometry, thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, unit operation, and a few numerical techniques

Autorentext

Dr. Nishith Verma is Chevron Corporation Chair Professor of chemical engineering at IIT Kanpur (India). He pursued B.Tech. in chemical engineering (1982-86) from IIT Kharagpur (India) and Ph.D. in chemical engineering (1991-95) from the University of Arizona, Tuscon (USA). Prof. Verma worked as Process Engineer (1995-97) at BOC Gases (now Linde Engineering), NJ (USA), before joining IIT Kanpur as Assistant Professor. His research interests include environmental remediation techniques, nanomaterials, catalysts, sensors, and lattice Boltzmann method-based modeling. Prof. Verma is Recipient of Alexander von Humboldt Research Fellowship and Fulbright-Nehru Academic and Professional Excellence Fellowship. He was Head, chemical engineering department, 201113, and Coordinator, Center for Environmental Science and Engineering, 201113, both at IIT Kanpur.
