Description
Reactors are an essential part of many chemical process operations, and sound design is vital for maximizing reaction rates and optimizing throughput. This Chemical Engineering guidebook provides practical engineering information on the design, operation, and maintenance of agitated reactors, continuous stirred-tank reactors (CSTRs), millichannel reactors, and other reactor configurations.
The volume focuses on strategies to increase reaction rates and throughput through improved mixing, heuristic rules, and a deeper understanding of the physical properties of the fluids involved. Tutorial-style articles also provide guidance on using pinch technology and process modeling to enhance reactor operation and reduce utility consumption. Additional recommendations address the analysis and optimization of heat and mass transfer in reactor systems.
