Filling a longstanding gap for graduate courses in the field, Chemical Reaction Engineering: Beyond the Fundamentals covers basic concepts as well as complexities of chemical reaction engineering, including novel techniques for process intensification. The book is divided into three parts: Fundamentals Revisited, Building on Fundamentals, and Beyond the Fundamentals. Part I: Fundamentals Revisited reviews the salient features of an undergraduate course, introducing concepts essential to reactor design, such as mixing, unsteady-state operations, multiple steady states, and complex reactions.

Part II: Building on Fundamentals is devoted to "skill building," particularly in the area of catalysis and catalytic reactions. It covers chemical thermodynamics, emphasizing the thermodynamics of adsorption and complex reactions; the fundamentals of chemical kinetics, with special emphasis on microkinetic analysis; and heat and mass transfer effects in catalysis, including transport between phases, transfer across interfaces, and effects of external heat and mass transfer. It also contains a chapter that provides readers with tools for making accurate kinetic measurements and analyzing the data obtained.

Part III: Beyond the Fundamentals presents material not commonly covered in textbooks, addressing aspects of reactors involving more than one phase. It discusses solid catalyzed fluid-phase reactions in fixed-bed and fluidized-bed reactors, gas–solid noncatalytic reactions, reactions involving at least one liquid phase (gas–liquid and liquid–liquid), and multiphase reactions. This section also describes membrane-assisted reactor engineering, combo reactors, homogeneous catalysis, and phase-transfer catalysis. The final chapter provides a perspective on future trends in reaction engineering.

L. K. Doraiswamy was the Anson Marston Distinguished Professor in Engineering in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at Iowa State University. He published a 950-page treatise on the application of chemical reaction engineering principles to organic synthesis, introducing the new field of organic synthesis engineering. He was the recipient of over 30 international honors and awards in recognition of his contributions to chemical engineering including the Padma Bhushan of the Government of India and election to the U.S. National Academy of Engineering.

Deniz Uner is the chair of the Department of Chemical Engineering of the Middle East Technical University, in Ankara, Turkey, and the founding president of the Catalysis Society of Turkey. Her active research area is at the intersection of catalysis, chemical reaction engineering, and thermodynamics. Her present research is focused on energy-efficient chemical conversions, and storage of solar and thermal energy in chemical bonds. She teaches graduate- and undergraduate-level courses in Chemical Reaction Engineering and Thermodynamics.
