Page 25 - Elements of Chemical Reaction Engineering Ebook

xxvi Preface

dents are encouraged to change parameter values and to “play with”
the key variables and assumptions. Using the living example problems
to explore the problem and asking “What iJ: . . ” questions provides the
opportunity to practice critical and creative thinking skills.

0 Professional Reference Shelf
This section of the CD-ROM contains:
1. material that is important to the practicing engineer, although it is
typically not included in the majority of chemical reaction engi-
neering courses.
2. material that gives a more detailed explanation of derivations that
were abbreviated in the text. The intermediate steps to these der-
ivations are given on the CD-ROM.

0 Additional Homework Problems
New problems were developed for this edition that provide a greater
opportunity to use today’s computing power to solve realistic problems.

0 Other CD-ROM Material
In addition to the components listed at the end of each chapter the
following components are included on the CD-ROM:
1. Soforiare ToolBox
Instructions on how to use the different software packages (POLY-
MATH, MATLAB, and ASPEN PLUS) to solve examples.
2. Representative Syllabi for a 3- and a 4-Credit Course
The syllabi give a sample pace at which the course could be
taught as well as suggested homework problems.
3. FAQ
These are Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s) from undergradu-
ate students taking reation engineering.

0 Virtual Reality Module (WWW)
This module provides an opportunity to move inside a catalyst pellet
to observe surface reactions and coking. It can be found at
