Description
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.
