Elements of Chemical Reaction Engineering, 3rd Edition (Prentice Hall International Series in the Physical and Chemical Engineering Sciences)

With A Combination Of User-friendly Software And Classic Algorithms, Students Learn To Solve Problems Through Reasoning Rather Than Memorization. Thorough Coverage Of The Fundamentals Of Chemical Reaction Engineering Forms The Backbone Of This Trusted Text, Presented In A Framework That Helps Develop Critical-thinking Skills And Practical Problem-solving. All The Classical Elements Are Covered. Elements Of Chemical Reaction Engineering, Third Edition, Builds A Strong Understanding Of Chemical Reaction Engineering Principles And Shows How They Can Be Applied To Numerous Reactions In A Variety Of Applications. The Structured Approach Helps Develop Skills In Critical Thinking, Creative Thinking, And Problem-solving, By Employing Open-ended Questions And Stressing The Socratic Method.--book Jacket.
