Author Description

Combines the concepts of chemical kinetics, as taught in physical chemistry, with those of transport phenomena taught in engineering courses: fluid flow, heat transfer, and mass transfer, with heavy emphasis on numerical methods and computation. The reader is taught to use and understand modern, computer-aided design techniques (CAD) with emphasis on design optimization. Includes sections on biochemical engineering, electronic materials processing, and multiphase reactions--and provides a chapter on polymer reaction engineering.
