Chemical Reactor Design and Control uses process simulatorslike Matlab®, Aspen Plus, and Aspen Dynamics to study thedesign of chemical reactors and their dynamic control. There arenumerous books that focus on steady-state reactor design. There areno books that consider practical control systems for realindustrial reactors. This unique reference addresses thesimultaneous design and control of chemical reactors. After adiscussion of reactor basics, it:
* Covers three types of classical reactors: continuous stirredtank (CSTR), batch, and tubular plug flow
* Emphasizes temperature control and the critical impact ofsteady-state design on the dynamics and stability of reactors
* Covers chemical reactors and control problems in a plantwideenvironment
* Incorporates numerous tables and shows step-by-stepcalculations with equations
* Discusses how to use process simulators to address diverseissues and types of operations
This is a practical reference for chemical engineeringprofessionals in the process industries, professionals who workwith chemical reactors, and students in undergraduate and graduatereactor design, process control, and plant design courses.
