Theoretical Foundations of Multiscale Modelling aims to address thermodynamical and statistical mechanical foundations of methods commonly employed, highlighting the potential and limitations of each approach. Starting with an overview of the basics of statistical mechanics, the book's chapters illustrate the general theory of molecular modelling, the concepts and methods for the study of complex molecular systems, key strategies employed to perform computational calculations and simulations, recent, cutting-edge tools of the trade, and a selection of case studies that highlight multi-scale modeling, multiple-resolution simulation methods, and machine-learning applications.Drawing on the experience of its expert authors, this book is an insightful guide for all those learning, applying or interested in exploring multiscale modelling methods for their own work. Multiscale modelling approaches can provide valuable insights to researchers across a broad range of fields, but the interdisciplinary applicability of these approaches means both new learners and experienced researchers may not have a clear understanding of the theoretical and computational fundamentals underpinning these methods.

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-heterogeneous 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.
