Bagian pertama berkaitan dengan kinetika fenomena yang penting dalam rekayasa reaksi: kinetika reaksi, baik "homogen" - dalam satu fase - dan "heterogen," yang melibatkan fase gas dan cair atau padat. Mekanisme reaksi telah diperhitungkan secara lebih rinci daripada sebelumnya, dalam upaya untuk lebih realistis, tetapi juga lebih dapat diandalkan dalam pemodelan kinetik mereka misalnya, dalam perengkahan termal, polimerisasi, pemrosesan hidrokarbon, dan proses-bio. Bidang kinetika reaksi telah berkembang secara substansial dengan meningkatnya ketersediaan melalui perangkat lunak komersial metode kimia kuantum. Siswa teknik reaksi kimia tidak dapat lagi mengabaikan potensi mereka dan mereka harus diajari bagaimana menerapkannya secara bermakna pada proses nyata. Bagian II membahas reaktor kimia itu sendiri, memasukkan aspek kinetik Bagian I ke dalam pemodelan dan simulasi operasi reaktor. The first part deals with the kinetics of phenomena that are important in reaction engineering: reaction kinetics, both “homogeneous” — in a single phase — and “heterogeneous,” involving a gas- and a liquid- or solid phase. The mechanism of the reactions has been accounted for in greater detail than previously, in an effort to be more realistic, but also more reliable in their kinetic modeling e.g., in thermal cracking, polymerization, hydrocarbon processing and bio-processes. The field of reaction kinetics has substantially progressed by the growing availability through commercial software of quantum chemical methods. Students of chemical reaction engineering can no longer ignore their potential and they should be taught how to apply them meaningfully to real processes. Part II addresses the chemical reactor itself, inserting the kinetic aspects of Part I into the modeling and simulation of the reactor operation.
