Elementary Kinetic Modelling in Catalytic Reaction Engineering is a practical focused text that brings together the relevant basics for reaction engineering and shows their applications to a wide variety of examples, whilst looking at the intrinsic kinetics data acquisition, reaction mechanism elucidation, elementary step-based modelling and model-based design and optimization involved.The book aims at spanning the entire process from acquisition of the relevant data in dedicated experimental set-ups, over the proper treatment of the data and the corresponding interpretation up to the quantification of the gained understanding in a model. The latter aspect allows the reader to challenge the interpretation made of the data and design subsequent experiments or improve the interpretation/model formulation. The coverage is not just limited to the generic (theoretical) principles but will also carefully consider and explain their application to a variety of real-life applications including gas- and liquid-phase reactions, heterogeneously catalyzed reactions involving adsorption either in the Henry regime or at full saturation of the catalyst or combined homogeneous-heteroge... reactions.Elementary Kinetic Modelling in Catalytic Reaction Engineering is written primarily for graduate students and postdoc researchers in chemical engineering or applied industrial chemistry studying chemical reaction engineering and catalysis, as well as physical chemists studying kinetics.

Computational Methods for the Multiscale Modelling of Soft Matter

1st Edition

Paola Carbone + 1 more
English

Due to the hierarchical organization of morphology in soft materials and their slow dynamics, a single modelling technique does not suffice to simulate them. The wide range of modelling approaches available span many time and length scales, making it challenging for newcomers to the field to know how to critically assess the tools and to determine which is most appropriate for any given problem. This book provides a concise and clear description of a variety of simulation methods to model these ubiquitous materials. The list of techniques includes numerical and molecular modelling ones and covers several time and length scales.Along with the fundamental concepts of the theory behind the methods, a comprehensive set of examples taken from the broad pool of soft materials is included. These exemplify how, thanks to the increased computational resources nowadays available to almost any research group, computational methods have become a powerful tool to sit alongside other experimental characterizations and show their increasing relevance for the manufacturing sector. Chapters illustrate how modelling techniques can be used to aid interpretation of experimental data, and how experiments can be used to parameterise models. In addition to enabling informed decisions to be made about the modelling tools to adopt for a given problem, the book will enable those who might already be experts in one technique to transition to other tools more easily. This will become increasingly important as multiscale tools become increasingly sophisticated and sufficiently well developed to be used by more casual users of simulation tools.Bringing together all these modelling approaches and applications into one coherent volume, Computational Methods for the Multiscale Modelling of Soft Matter provides a one-stop resource that is written primarily for postgraduate students and researchers in materials science, computational physics and chemists and chemical engineering interested in learning about simulation methods for soft materials as polymers, surfactants, and colloids.
