[...] Batch and Semi-batch Reactors covers chemical kinetic investigations conducted in batch reators, as well as the fundamental features of batch and semi-batch reators. It discusses upscaling and downscaling both reactors, using analytic methods based on conservation laws and empirical methods based on experimental data. Batch and Semi-batch Reactors concludes with a review of their operating features. This text is ideal for any engineer who is new to working with batch or semi-batch reactors and needs to know the basics quickly.'-- ER -
