Mathematical Modeling: A Chemical Engineer's PerspectiveMathematical modeling is the art and craft of building a system of equations that is both sufficiently complex to do justice to physical reality and sufficiently simple to give real insight into the situation. Mathematical Modeling: A Chemical Engineer's Perspective provides an elementary introduction to the craft by one of the century's most distinguished practitioners. Though the book is written from a chemical engineering viewpoint, the principles and pitfalls are common to all mathematical modeling of physical systems. Seventeen of the author's frequently cited papers are reprinted to illustrate applications to convective diffusion, formal chemical kinetics, heat and mass transfer, and the philosophy of modeling. An essay of acknowledgments, asides, and footnotes captures personal reflections on academic life and personalities.

... Phase Reactor, One-Phase Uniform A simplified example is the best way to explain a two-phase reactor, onephase uniform. Suppose we have a tubular reactor embedded in a stirred tank and communicating with it (Fig. 3 shows the arrangement) ...
... phases gives eA(DC" – vC') - (q/L)c = (1 – 8)Akc. (47) The balance over the lumped, or uniform, phase recognizes that there is only one source of the reacting species, namely the transfer from the distributed phase, whereas the chemical ...
... phases, Eq. (47), when one is uniform and the other distributed. The balance over the lumped phase, Eq. (38), stands, but we must do the other balance over P* only. This gives eA{DC" – vC'} = (Skg/L) {C – c). (58) Then with the same ...
