Practical Aspects of the Modelling of Reactive Systems (Other digital)

This well written book provides an authoritative source for readers who wish to make informed and logical choices in using finite element techniques to develop in house computer simulation tools for reactive systems. Existing texts usually only deal with the theoretical aspects of the modeling of reactive systems and do not provide the interface for translating the governing equations into a working computer simulation. The text aims to address this problem by helping to reduce the time and effort needed for the transition from a theoretical treatment of the problem to the development of a practical procedure. Numerous worked examples help the reader to reduce their problem and to create a working simulation, emphasising the practical aspects to create a book of great value to students as well as practitioners.Features include: description of detailed methodologies for the finite element modelling of various reactive systems; equations which can be directly altered to form computer codes translates theory into practice; numerous worked examples; and helping the reader develop their own simulation tool. The book is ideal for post graduate students, professionals and researchers working in the area of reaction engineering, mathematical modeling and simulation of chemical reactors. It is also suitable for the reaction engineering scientific community and university lecturers working in these fields.
