Advances in Chemical Engineering

The theme of the present volume is Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and aims to show the state of the art of CFD in chemical engineering.
The volume is made up of five contributions, and a research paper. Some payments are only limited to velocity and temperature fields. Other emphasize the difficulties of transport and reaction.
Contributions include gas and liquid-liquid fluidized beds. Addressing the different levels of modeling that are essential for industrial applications. Stirred turbulent vessels and the chemical reactions. The importance of transport phenomena. Finally, looking at reactor engineering: the catalytic fixed bed reactor.

* Original reviews
* Leading chemical engineers as authors
* Reviewing the state-of-the-art of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
