Bykov V. Chemical Complexity via Simple Models. Modelics 2018

Textbook in PDF format

This book is focused on mathematical modelling of chemical kinetics. The authors present the classification of basic models of chemical kinetics, thermokinetics and macrokinetics, as well as their application for the most important chemical transformations, such as combustion and catalysis. Readers will find a detailed description and analysis of different mathematical instruments which can be applied for simulation of reaction dynamics.
Extensive overview of different mathematic models used for simulation of chemical kinetics.
Fills the gap between theory of chemical kinetics and practical process engineering.
Valuable for researchers and professionals of Chemical Engineering.
