Details simple design methods for multiphase reactors in the chemical process industries

• Includes basic aspects of transport in multiphase reactors and the importance of relatively reliable and simple procedures for predicting mass transfer parameters
• Details of design and scale up aspects of several important types of multiphase reactors
• Examples illustrated through design methodologies presenting different reactors for reactions that are industrially important
• Includes simple spreadsheet packages rather than complex algorithms / programs or computational aid

Reviews

"The book presents the current state-of-the-art technology and can serve as a good starting point for graduates planning to work on gas-liquid or gas-liquid-solid reactors. " (The Chemical Engineer, April 2016)

"The book would help academics to develop course material for process safety studies." (The Chemical Engineer, April 2016)


"Pangarkar is highly recommended: it may even help to minimize the number of blunders on a small scale." (N. Kuipers, April 2016)

"This book presents excellent discussion of the latest literature on the subject and brings out the gaps that need to be bridged. Simple concepts have been used to provide straightforward spreadsheet based design procedures.............I strongly recommend the book to colleagues in both the academic and industrial sectors." (The Catalyst 2016)
