Synopsis

This new edition discusses various aspects of chemical engineering not featured in Volumes 1 and 2 of the series. It covers chemical reactor design, both catalytic and non-catalytic, and biochemical reaction engineering, with detailed description of computational techniques and control, and other areas of special importance today such as non-Newtonian technology and sorption processes. Each section, written by a specialist in the field, has been revised and updated to cover recent developments. New topics include non-ideal flow and mixing in chemical reactions and gas-solid reactions. SI units throughout. Readership: final year undergraduates and postgraduates in chemical engineering and practising engineers

About the Author

Ray Sinnott's varied career, mainly in design and development, began with several major companies including Dupont and John Brown. The main areas covered within these appointments were: Gas Production and Distribution, Nuclear Energy, Elastomers and Textile fibres. After his career in industry he joined the Chemical Engineering Department, University of Wales Swansea in 1970, specialising in teaching process and plant design, and other engineering practice subjects. The first edition of Chemical Engineering Design (Coulson and Richardson's Vol 6) was published in 1983. Subsequent editions have been published at approximately 5 year intervals. Ray Sinnott retired from full time teaching in 1995 but has maintained close contact with the engineering profession.
