Book Review:

The first edition of Chemical Engineering Kinetics appeared when the rational design of chemical reactors, as opposed to empirical scaleup, was an emerging field. Since then, progress in kinetics, catalysis, and particularly in engineering field. Since then, progress in kinetics, catalysis, and particularly in engineering aspects of design, has been so great that this second edition is a completely rewritten version. In view of present-day knowledge, the treatment in the first edition is inadequate with respect to kinetics of multiple-reaction system, mixing in nonideal reactors, thermal effects, and global rates of heterogeneous reactions. Special attention has been devoted to hese subjects in the second edition. What hasn’t changed is the book’s objective: the clear presentation and illustration of design procedures which are based upon scientific principles.

Sucessful design of chemical reactors requires understanding of chemical kinetics as well as such physical processes as mass and energy transport. Hence, the intrinsic rate of chemical reactions is accorded a good measure of attention : in a general way in the second chapter and then with specific reference to catalysis in the eight and ninth. A brief review of chemical thermodynamics is included in Chap. 1, but earlier study of the fundamentals of this subject would be beneficial. Introductory and theoretical material is given in Chap. 2, only in a manner that does not make prior study of kinetics mandatory.

The book has been written from the viewpoint that the design of a chemical reactor requires, first, a laboratory study to establish the intrinsic rate of reaction, and subsequently a combination of the rate expressions with a model of the commercial-scale reactor to predict performance.
