ABSTRACT

The first part of this text was concerned with chemical reaction kinetics and reactor design-analysis procedures that showed the common features pertaining to homo­ geneous or pseudo-homogeneous systems. In fact, we got rather far along with the latter approach in the last chapter, extending to some rather advanced problems in reactor analysis. There comes a time1, though, when we have to acknowledge the existence of more than one phase, and we really can’t get around it. Some of this we have even tried to cope with in Chapter 7 regarding catalytic effectiveness, for example.
