"Design and scale-up of a chemical reaction system from a laboratory bench-scale reaction system to an industrial-scale reactor require a strong knowledge of kinetics and thermodynamics of reactions, hydrodynamics, transport processes, and understanding of heat and mass transfer resistances in a chemical reactor. This textbook provides a foundation for understanding the multi-scale nature of chemical reactor engineering and the fundamentals of each scale.

"Design and scale-up of a chemical reaction system from a laboratory bench-scale reaction system to an industrial-scale reactor require a strong knowledge of kinetics and thermodynamics of reactions, hydrodynamics, transport processes, and understanding of heat and mass transfer resistances in a chemical reactor. This textbook provides a foundation for understanding the multi-scale nature of chemical reactor engineering and the fundamentals of each scale. The interaction of the reacting molecules on the molecular scale determines the mechanism and the kinetics of chemical reactions. By using real-life examples to illustrate the principles of chemical reactor analysis and heterogeneous catalysis at every scale, this textbook provides students with a deep and practical understanding of the subject. The text also emphasizes new approaches to process intensification, the modeling of multifunctional reactors, structured reactor types, and the importance of hydrodynamics and transport processes taking place in a chemical reactor. Each chapter ends with problem sets and open-ended cases studies to promote critical thinking"--
