Elements of Chemical Reaction Engineering, 6/e (GE-Paperback)

Description

Fordecades, H. Scott Foglers Elements of Chemical Reaction Engineering hasbeen the worlds dominant chemical reaction engineering text. Usingsliders and interactive examples in Wolfram, Python, POLYMATH, and MATLAB,students can explore reactions and reactors by running realistic simulationexperiments.

Writing for todays students, Fogler provides instant access to information,avoids extraneous details, and presents novel problems linking theory topractice. Faculty can flexibly define their courses, drawing on updatedchapters, problems, and extensive Professional Reference Shelf web content atdiverse levels of difficulty.

The book thoroughly prepares undergraduates to apply chemical reaction kineticsand physics to the design of chemical reactors. And four advanced chaptersaddress graduate-level topics, including effectiveness factors. To support thefields growing emphasis on chemical reactor safety, each chapter now ends witha practical 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

• Features
  • Successfully integrates text, visuals, and computer simulations to help both undergraduate and graduate students master the fundamentals of chemical reaction engineering
  • Contains new examples, problems, and video instruction helping students to explore key issues, seek optimum solutions, and practice critical thinking and creative problem-solving
  • Presents expanded coverage of crucial safety topics to address the latest ABET requirements
  • Includes expanded coverage of bioreactions and industrial chemistry, introduced with real reactors and reactions
  • Ancillaryresources such as the solutions manual are available for faculty andinstructors
  
  New to This Edition
  In Elementsof Chemical Reaction Engineering, Sixth Edition, H. Scott Fogler hasmade numerous updates, including greater emphasis on Chemical Reactor Safety, anew discussion on molecular simulations and stochastic modeling in Chapter 3,interactive modules on Living Example Problems and Molecular Simulations,revision and reworking of Chapters 11-13 from the Fifth Edition, andmore. Wolfram and Polymath will be used to solve real-world chemicalreaction engineering problems and to explore how the reaction behaves as onemanipulates the system variables.
  Forthe Sixth Edition, Fogler has made major changes to the website (http://www.umich.edu/~elements/5e)to more easily and readily facilitate Inquiry Based Learning (IBL). The websitewill feature greatly enhanced problems and examples through interaction exercises.Online ancillaries such as the Solutions Manual and PowerPoint Slides will beavailable for all instructors through the Pearson Instructor ResourceCenter.
