Fundamental System Design Principles for Simultaneous Mass Transfer and Chemical Reactions in Chemical Engineering Science: Including a Computational Approach with R is a comprehensive resource providing a fundamental description of the scientific basis for diffusional processes and mass transfer operations in the presence of simultaneous chemical reactions. In the book several models are presented, assessed, and showcased for engineering design applications. Based on a vigorous assessment of several theoretical models for mass transfer, a selected preferred methodology is recommended as a firm basis for engineering design. A design methodology is presented for the engineering of requisite equipment for achieving a given goal. Concomitant equipment requirements are derived to provide a solution matching specified pre-determined design objectives, such as the degree of purity of products as well as the amount of output per unit time.
