This complete reference to chemical engineering will support you throughout your career, as it covers every key chemical engineering topic.
- Converted from textbooks into fully revised reference material
- Content ranges from foundational to technical
- Added emerging applications, numerical methods, and computational tools
Chemical and Biochemical Reactors and Reaction Engineering has been developed from the series volume 3, 3rd edition. This volume covers reactor design, flow modeling, and gas-liquid and gas-solid reactions and reactors.
Coulson and Richardson’s Chemical Engineering has been fully revised and updated to provide practitioners with an overview of chemical engineering. Each reference book provides clear explanations of theory and thorough coverage of practical applications, supported by case studies. A worldwide team of editors and contributors have pooled their experience in adding new content and revising the old. The authoritative style of the original volumes 1-3 has been retained, but the content has been brought up to date and altered to be more useful to practicing engineers. This complete reference to chemical engineering will support you throughout your career, as it covers every key chemical engineering topic.
About the editors
Editor in Chief, Raj Chhabra
Raj Chhabra earned his BS, MS, and PhD degrees, all in Chemical Engineering, from the erstwhile University of Roorkee (now IIT Roorkee) in 1974, the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore (1976), and Monash University, Melbourne, Australia (1980), respectively. Following a postdoc with the late Professor J.F. Richardson at the University of Swansea, Swansea (UK), in 1984, he joined as an assistant professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur in India. Currently, he is a professor in the same department. His research interests are in the area of multiphase systems, especially involving non-Newtonian fluids. He has more than 300 journal papers to his credit. In addition, he has authored/coauthored four books.
Volume Editor, R. Ravi
Ravi obtained his Bachelor of Technology from the Indian Institute of Technology (Madras, India) and subsequently Masters and PhD at Purdue University (USA). He is currently serving as professor in the department of chemical engineering at IIT, Madras. His research interests are primarily in the theoretical aspects of chemical engineering.
Volume Editor, R. Vinu
Vinu is currently serving as an associate professor at the Indian Institute of Technology in Madras, India. His research interests include conversion of renewable and nonrenewable resources to drop-in fuels and intermediates by thermochemical techniques, catalytic fast pyrolysis, microwave pyrolysis, fuel characterization, microkinetic modeling of complex reactions, and photocatalysis.
Volume Editor, S.N. Gummadi
Sathyanarayana N. Gummadi is currently serving as a professor at the Indian Institute of Technology in Madras, India.
