Advances in Chemical Engineering

Understanding and modeling the kinetics of research and development. This power provides four complementary points of view. It reflects state-of-the-art developments as a representative, sample of research and development groups.
A first contribution by WH Green Jr. sets the scene. The author advocates a paradigm shift in chemical kinetics from "postdictive" to predictive models.
The contribution of the Politecnico di Milano on the tremendous experience of the petrochemical industry. The philosophy of "philosophical" issues. The last chapter is an indication of the state-of-the-art in an industrial environment.

* Provides original reviews
