Preface

The man who has ceased to learn ought not to be allowed to wander around loose in these dangerous days.

A. Who Is the Intended Audience?

This book and interactive Web site is intended for use as both an undergraduate-level and a graduate-level text in chemical reaction engineering. The level will depend on the choice of chapters, the Professional Reference Shelf (PRS) material (from the companion Web site) to be covered, and the type and degree of difficulty of problems assigned. It was written with today’s students in mind. It provides instantaneous access to information; does not waste time on extraneous details; cuts right to the point; uses more bullets to make information easier to access; and includes new, novel problems ...
