Elements of Chemical Reaction Engineering

by H. Fogler

Overview

For decades, H. Scott Fogler’s Elements of Chemical Reaction Engineering has been the world’s dominant chemical reaction engineering text.  Using sliders and interactive examples in Wolfram, Python, POLYMATH, and MATLAB, students can explore reactions and reactors by running realistic simulation experiments.

Writing for today’s students, Fogler provides instant access to information, avoids extraneous details, and presents novel problems linking theory to practice. Faculty can flexibly define their courses, drawing on updated chapters, problems, and extensive Professional Reference Shelf web content at diverse levels of difficulty.

The book thoroughly prepares undergraduates to apply chemical reaction kinetics and physics to the design of chemical reactors. And four advanced chapters address graduate-level topics, including effectiveness factors. To support the field’s growing emphasis on chemical reactor safety, each chapter now ends with a practical safety lesson.

• Updates throughout the book reflect current theory and practice and emphasise safety
• New discussions of molecular simulations and stochastic modeling
• Increased emphasis on alternative energy sources such as solar and biofuels
• Thorough reworking of three chapters on heat effects
• Full chapters on nonideal reactors, diffusion limitations, and residence time distribution

About the Author

H. Scott Fogler was the Ame and Catherine Vennema Professor of Chemical Engineering and the Arthur F. Thurnau Professor at the University of Michigan. He was 2009 President of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers. Fogler chaired ASEE's Chemical Engineering Division, served as director of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, and earned the Warren K. Lewis Award from AIChE for contributions to chemical engineering education. He received the Chemical Manufacturers Association's National Catalyst Award and the 2010 Malcolm E. Pruitt Award from the Council for Chemical Research.

Bryan R. Goldsmith is the Dow Corning Assistant Professor of Chemical Engineering at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. He joined Michigan in 2017 after completing a Humboldt Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society in Berlin, Germany. He received his PhD in chemical engineering from the University of California Santa Barbara in 2015. His research lab specializes in atomistic modeling and machine learning to understand and design catalysts for chemical conversion, pollution reduction, and energy generation and storage. He was a recipient of the AIChE 35 under 35 Award and the ACS OpenEye Outstanding Junior Faculty Award.

Eranda Nikolla is a professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Michigan and is Materials Science Editor of the Journal of Catalysis. She received MS and PhD degrees from the University of Michigan and was a postdoctoral scholar in chemical engineering at the California Institute of Technology from 2009-2011. Her research lab focuses on studying issues related to thermocatalysis and electrocatalysis for energy and chemical conversion and storage.

Nirala Singh is an assistant professor of chemical engineering at the University of Michigan. He received a BSE in chemical engineering from the University of Michigan in 2009 and a PhD in chemical engineering from the University of California Santa Barbara in 2015.

Editorial Reviews

A text/CD-ROM combining user-friendly software and classic algorithms, emphasizing problem solving through reason rather than memorization. A structured approach helps develop skills in critical thinking, creative thinking, and problem solving, by employing open-ended questions and stressing the Socratic method. Includes background appendices and chapter problems. The companion CD-ROM includes lecture notes, problem solving software, derivations and other reference material, and homework problems. Margin icons in the text link concepts and procedures to material on the CD-ROM. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
