Physical-Chemical and Physical Fundamentals of Chemical Reaction Engineering
摘要
For the solution of reaction engineering tasks, in addition to the stoichiometric balance of the reaction processes, knowledge of thermodynamic and kinetic laws of chemical reaction is essential. When a chemical equilibrium occurs, the reaction progress is limited by thermodynamics. The kinetics of chemical reactions capture the reaction progress as a function of time. The creation of a reaction model is particularly necessary for complex reactions, such as in heterogeneous catalysis. It is common to consider the kinetics of molecular transport processes. Therefore, the description of film diffusion, diffusion in porous catalysts, and heat conduction and transfer are among the fundamentals of chemical reaction engineering.
