The book titled “Elements of Chemical Reaction Engineering, 6th Global Edition” by H. Scott Fogler is a comprehensive guide for students studying chemical reaction engineering. This Global Sixth Edition offers a more interactive learning experience through the use of sliders and interactive examples in popular software platforms such as POLYMATH, Wolfram, Python, and MATLAB.
The author has written this edition with a focus on providing instant access to information, avoiding unnecessary details, and presenting practical problems that connect theory to practice. This allows students to quickly grasp key concepts and apply them to real-world scenarios. Faculty members can also customize their courses by utilizing updated chapters, problems, and additional web content from the Professional Reference Shelf.
The ebook thoroughly prepares undergraduates to apply chemical reaction kinetics and physics in the design of chemical reactors. It also includes advanced chapters that cover graduate-level topics like effectiveness factors. The book now places a greater emphasis on chemical reactor safety, with each chapter concluding with a practical safety lesson.
The following updates and additions have been made to this Global Sixth Edition:
- Thorough reworking of three chapters on heat effects
- New discussions of molecular simulations and stochastic modeling
- Increased emphasis on alternative energy sources such as solar and biofuels
- Full chapters on diffusion limitations, nonideal reactors, and residence time distribution
- Updates throughout the book to reflect current theory and practice and emphasize safety
The companion website, umich.edu/~elements/6e/index.html, provides additional resources including problem-solving strategies, lecture notes in the form of PowerPoint slides, links to various software platforms, and living example problems. The living example problems are interactive simulations that allow students to explore different scenarios and ask “what-if” questions.
The website also offers interactive learning resources for each chapter, such as learning objectives, summary notes, web modules, interactive computer games, solved problems, FAQs, additional homework problems, and links to Learncheme. Additionally, the Professional Reference Shelf on the website contains advanced content on reactors, experimental planning, pharmacokinetics, and more.
