Laurence Belfiore's unique treatment meshes two mainstream
subject areas in chemical engineering: transport phenomena and
chemical reactor design. Expressly intended as an extension of
Bird, Stewart, and Lightfoot's classic Transport Phenomena,
and Froment and Bischoff's Chemical Reactor Analysis and
Design, Second Edition, Belfiore's unprecedented text
explores the synthesis of these two disciplines in a manner the
upper undergraduate or graduate reader can readily grasp.

Transport Phenomena for Chemical Reactor Design
approaches the design of chemical reactors from microscopic heat
and mass transfer principles. It includes simultaneous
consideration of kinetics and heat transfer, both critical to the
performance of real chemical reactors. Complementary topics in
transport phenomena and thermodynamics that provide support for
chemical reactor analysis are covered, including:

* Fluid dynamics in the creeping and potential flow regimes
around solid spheres and gas bubbles

* The corresponding mass transfer problems that employ velocity
profiles, derived in the book's fluid dynamics chapter, to
calculate interphase heat and mass transfer coefficients

* Heat capacities of ideal gases via statistical thermodynamics
to calculate Prandtl numbers

* Thermodynamic stability criteria for homogeneous mixtures that
reveal that binary molecular diffusion coefficients must be
positive

In addition to its comprehensive treatment, the text also
contains 484 problems and ninety-six detailed solutions to assist
in the exploration of the subject. Graduate and advanced
undergraduate chemical engineering students, professors, and
researchers will appreciate the vision, innovation, and practical
application of Laurence Belfiore's Transport Phenomena
for Chemical Reactor Design.

Rezensionen

"In addition to its comprehensive treatment, the text also contains
484 problems and 96 detailed solutions to assist in the exploration
of the subject." (Chemical Engineering Progress, March
2004)

"...an amazing book; almost every topic that arises in the
design of a chemical reactor is discussed.... Highly recommended."
