Advanced Reactor Modeling with MATLAB

A modern approach to reactor description and modelling. Using the widely applied numerical language MATLAB, the book provides the reader with categorized groups of general code for a wide variety of chemical reactors. Being designed as a tool for researchers and professionals, the code can easily be extended and adapted by the reader to their own specific problems. New: Completely revised and improved plus two chapters on MonteCarlo modeling for chemical reactors, also comparisons between the different reactor configurations.

• Describes simulation of chemical reactors using a modular approach.

• Online MATLAB code available that can be applied and developed by the reader.

• Provides tools for professionals and researchers in industry and academia.

Riccardo Tesser graduated from the University of Naples "Federico II" in Industrial Chemistry in 1989 with a thesis on vapour-liquid equilibrium. Between 1991 to 1999, he worked at Montefibre Research Centre of Acerra (NA), researching DMT (dimethylterephthalate) production and batch and continuous polymerization of PET. In 2000, he became an assistant professor in industrial chemistry at the University of Naples "Federico II" in the research group of Professor Santacesaria. His main field of research focused on industrial catalysis and kinetic studies of complex reactions in multi-phase reactors. The results of his scientific activities have been published in over 161 papers, 4 book chapters, 3 books 20 italian patents, 16 international patents, 4673 total citations by 3549 documents.
