Chemical Reaction Engineering 3rd Edition, Levenspiel


Chemical Reaction Engineering 3rd Edition by Octave Levenspiel emphasizes qualitative arguments, simple design methods, graphical procedures, and frequent comparison of capabilities of the foremost reactor types. Simple concepts are handled first, and are then extended to the extra complex.

This book is an improved and simplified edition of this traditional introduction to the ideas of reactor design for chemical reactions of every kind--homogeneous, catalytic, biochemical, gas, stable, extractive, etc. It adds new material on programs of deactivating catalysts, flow modeling and prognosis of the ills of working equipment, and new simple design procedures for packed mattress and fluidized bed reactors.

A number of new topics have also been added to the third edition together with biochemical methods, reactors with fluidized solids, gas/liquid reactors, and extra on nonideal flow. seventy five% of the over four hundred issues within the text are new. These issues help students apply the ideas presented in the text to new situations. Students may even find over eighty illustrative examples that reinforce the material.

This book offers with energy and material steadiness applied to chemical reactors to realize a given purpose. The book tells you all the fundamentals in regards to the chemical reaction engineering, the underlying principles but fails to draw this message straight that CRE is nothing but application of energy and material balance. And at undergraduate degree, I could not draw this inference alone and realized it in the graduate class when I took the advanced degree course.

The book additionally doesn't deal with the modern tools of solving reactor design problems with computers. We used Fogler's text book for first few lessons in Graduate school. I might suggest this book which could possibly be used as an undergraduate as well as graduate text/reference book. If it's good to go to the earlier work and wish to pursue research on this area, then this text is nice because it has some authentic work references.
