Introduction
The man who has ceased to learn ought not to be allowed
to wander around loose in these dangerous days.
M. M. Coady
A. Who Is the Intended Audience?
This book was written with todays 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 on chemical reaction engineering (e.g., solar energy).) breaks new ground and provides one of the most comprehensive active learning resources available. With the advent of sliders in both Wolfram and Python, students can explore the reactions and the reactor in which they occur, by carrying out simulation experiments and then writing a set of conclusions to describe what they found.
).
This book and interactive Web site are intended for use as both an undergraduate-level and a graduate-level text in chemical reaction engineering. The undergraduate course/courses usually focus on ) along with the additional material and Professional Reference Shelf (PRS) on the Web site.
This edition emphasizes chemical reactor safety by ending each chapter with a safety lesson called And Now A Word From Our Sponsor-Safety (AWFOSS). These lessons can also be found on the Web site at http://umich.edu/~safeche/.
B. What Are the Goals of This Book?
B.1 To Have Fun Learning Chemical Reaction Engineering (CRE)
Chemical reaction engineering (CRE) is a great subject that is fun to learn and is the heart of chemical engineering. I have tried to provide a little Michigan humor as we go. Take a look at the humorous YouTube videos (e.g., Black Widow or Chemical Engineering Gone Wrong) that illustrate certain principles in the text. These videos were made by chemical engineering students at the universities of Alabama and Michigan. In addition, I have found that students enjoy the Interactive Computer Games (ICGs) that, along with the videos, are linked from the CRE homepage (http://www.umich.edu/~elements/6e/index.html).
B.2 To Develop a Fundamental Understanding of Reaction Engineering
The second goal of this book is to help the reader clearly understand the fundamentals of CRE. This goal is achieved by presenting a structure that allows the reader to solve reaction engineering problems through reasoning rather than through memorization and recall of numerous equations and the restrictions and conditions under which each equation applies (
