Description:
This book couples the concepts of transport phenomena with chemical reaction kinetics and thermodynamics to introduce the field of reaction engineering. This is essential information needed to design and control engineering devices, particularly flow reactor systems. Each chapter in this section is somewhat self-contained. Similar concepts are brought forth and reinforced through applications and discussions. However, to further enhance the benefits obtained by the reader, the book first examines some elementary concepts, the most relevant being control volume selection and flow reactors. It provides a comprehensive treatment with an overview of major research topics related to transport phenomena pertaining to biomedical engineering.
