Part I
Fundamentals revisited
There will come a time when you believe that everything is finished. That will be the beginning.

Objectives
This part is dedicated to be a review for graduate students with a chemical engineering background and an introduction to those new to the field. After completion of this part, the successful student must be able to
• Design reactors for simple reactions
• Design reactors for complex reactions
• Choose the most suitable ideal reactor for a given reaction
• Perform energy balance analyses around isothermal and adiabatic ideal reactors
• Identify nonidealities in chemical reactors and mathematically analyze the nonidealities for improved design protocols
• Choose the best operation ...
