Chapter 22: Reactors
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
The important roles of reaction kinetics, equilibrium, and heat transfer in determining the correct design for chemical reactors
The hierarchy of configurations for removing heat from exothermic, gas-phase catalytic reactions
That exothermic, gas-phase reactions may give rise to temperature hot spots in the reactor that can lead to dangerous conditions
That the performance of existing reactors is complex and requires numerical solutions when temperature effects are taken into account
As for other chapters in this section of the book, the intention of this chapter is not to replace a textbook on a specific topic, reaction engineering in this case, but rather to highlight some basic equations relating ...
