Chemical Reaction Engineering
Graduate courses in Chemical Reaction Engineering have tended to become
more oriented to catalytic science because of significant developments
in this field. Discussion of transport effects in reaction systems
appears to have lost some of its prevalence. Dispersed phase reactors
receive no more than a modicum of mention due to limited familiarity
with the use of population balance equations. It is heartening, however,
that an industrial reaction engineering course organized by
Hickman15 under the auspices of Purdue CISTAR provided
an excellent picture of reaction engineering practice.
