Simultaneous Mass Transfer and Chemical Reactions in Engineering Science: Solution Methods and Chemical Engineering Applications

Simultaneous Mass Transfer and Chemical Reactions in Engineering Science illustrates how mathematical analyses, statistics, numerical analysis, and computer programming can summarize simultaneous mass transfer and chemical reactions in engineering science and can be used successfully to solve problems in quantitative Chemical and Biochemical Engineering design and analysis. The book provides statistical methodologies and R recipes for advective and diffusive problems, in various geometrical configurations. The R-package ReacTran is used to showcase transport models in aquatic systems (rivers, lakes, oceans), porous media (floc aggregates, sediments, ...) and even idealized organisms (spherical cells, cylindrical worms, ...). Presents basic science of diffusional process and mass transfer, with simultaneous biochemical and chemical reactions Provides a current working knowledge of simultaneous mass transfer and reactions Describes useful mathematical models for quantitative assessment of simultaneous mass transfer and reactions Focuses on the analysis of systems of simultaneous mass transfer and reactions, discussing existence and uniqueness of the solutions to the well-known theoretical models Introduces the use of the popular open-sourced computer programming language, R, for needed quantitative assessment in the analysis of models for simultaneous mass transfer and chemical reactions analysis Includes numerous fully-worked examples covering Cartesian (in 1-D, 2-D, and 3-D), as well as cylindrical and spherical coordinates
