Informationen zum Autor Peter L. Silveston is a Distinguished Professor Emeritus at the University of Waterloo in Canada. Professor Silveston has authored or co-authored three previous books on reactor engineering topics as well as close to 300 research publications. He is a graduate of M.I.T. and the Technical University of Munich (Germany). Klappentext Periodic Operation of Chemical Reactors is written by the pioneers of the subject, and shows engineers and researchers how to harness periodic or transient operation of chemical reactors (that is, ensuring that reactions happen in a controlled pattern) to improve their output, yield or selectivity. It is an important technique for improving the efficiency and profitability of chemical reaction processes in, for example, the production of petrochemical or biochemical products.
