Chemical Reaction Engineering (3rd Edition)

Chemical Reaction Engineering (Third Edition)
By Octave Levenspiel

Chemical Reaction Engineering by Octave Levenspiel is a classic and widely respected introductory textbook that helps students learn how to answer reactor design questions reliably and effectively. The text emphasizes qualitative arguments, simple design methods, graphical procedures, and frequent comparison of the capabilities of major reactor types, helping students develop a strong intuitive sense for good design. This third edition introduces new topics including biochemical systems, reactors with fluidized solids, gas/liquid reactors, and expanded coverage of nonideal flow, presenting simple ideas first before extending to more complex concepts.

Topics commonly covered include:

• Overview of chemical reaction engineering
• Kinetics of homogeneous reactions
• Interpretation of batch reactor data
• Introduction to reactor design
• Ideal reactors for single reactions
• Design for parallel and multiple reactions
• Nonideal flow (compartment models, dispersion model, tank-in-series model)
• Solid catalyzed reactions and packed bed catalytic reactors
• Deactivating catalysts
• Fluid-fluid and fluid-particle reactions
• Biochemical reactions (enzyme fermentation, microbial fermentation)

Key features:

• Over 400 problems, 75% of which are new to this edition, applying concepts to real situations
• More than 80 illustrative examples reinforcing core material
• New chapters on biochemical systems and reactors with fluidized solids
• Leisurely, well-explained pace suited for an introductory course
• Written by Octave Levenspiel, a renowned chemical reaction engineering educator at Oregon State University
• Progressive structure moving from simple concepts to advanced reactor design topics

Perfect for:

• Chemical engineering students
• B.E./B.Tech students studying reactor design and kinetics
• Students taking introductory chemical reaction engineering courses
• Faculty teaching chemical reaction engineering
• Practicing chemical engineers seeking a foundational reference
