Download or read book Kinetics of Homogeneous Multistep Reactions written by Friedrich G. Helfferich and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2001-01-25 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses primarily the chemist and engineer in industrial research and process development, where competitive pressures put a premium on scale-up by large factors to cut development time. To be safe, such scale-up should be based on "fundamental" kinetics, that is, mathematics that reflect the elementary steps of which the reactions consist. The book forges fundamental kinetics into a practical tool by presenting new effective methods for elucidation of mechanisms and reduction of mathematical complexity without unacceptable sacrifice in accuracy.
