Transport Phenomena for Chemical and Biological Reaction Engineering

Updated edition of a fundamental text on the synergy of transport phenomena and chemical reactor design Approached from microscopic heat and mass transfer principles, Transport Phenomena for Chemical and Biological Reaction Engineering provides a unique approach to the subject by meshing transport phenomena and chemical reactor design, two mainstream subject areas in the field of chemical engineering.The book includes numerical solutions of complex problems in which all supporting equations are provided for quantitative understanding.Detailed illustrations are also included throughout to elucidate key concepts.Highlighting bioreactors, biomaterials, catalytic pellets, and other transport/reactor applications, this newly revised and updated Second Edition explains and features cutting-edge knowledge on Maxwell-Stefan multicomponent mass transfer, external-field-stimulated kinetics, porous biomaterials for tissue engineering, and many other topics.The introductory section offers a review
