Chemical Reactor Design and Control uses process simulators
like Matlab®, Aspen Plus, and Aspen Dynamics to study the
design of chemical reactors and their dynamic control. There are
numerous books that focus on steady-state reactor design. There are
no books that consider practical control systems for real
industrial reactors. This unique reference addresses the
simultaneous design and control of chemical reactors. After a
discussion of reactor basics, it:
- Covers three types of classical reactors: continuous stirred tank (CSTR), batch, and tubular plug flow
- Emphasizes temperature control and the critical impact of steady-state design on the dynamics and stability of reactors
- Covers chemical reactors and control problems in a plantwide environment
- Incorporates numerous tables and shows step-by-step calculations with equations
- Discusses how to use process simulators to address diverse issues and types of operations
