Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Chemical Reaction Engineering, Third Edition helps students learn how to answer reactor design questions reliably and effectively. To accomplish this, the text emphasizes qualitative arguments, simple design methods, graphical procedures, and frequent comparison of capabilities of major reactor types. This approach helps students develop a strong intuitive sense for good design.

Includes indexes.
