Kinetics of Chemical Reactions (eBook)

Guy B. Marin is professor in Chemical Reaction Engineering at Ghent University (Belgium) and directs the Laboratory for Chemical Technology. The investigation of chemical kinetics constitutes the core of his research. He has co-authored more than 600 papers in high impact journals and is co-inventor in 3 patents. He is editor-in-chief of 'Advances in Chemical Engineering', co-editor of the 'Chemical Engineering Journal' and member of the editorial boards of 'Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research', 'Current Opinion in Chemical Engineering' and the 'Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering'. He is member of Scientific Advisory Boards in France, Denmark and the Netherlands. He is 'Master' of the 111 project of the Chinese Government for oversees collaborations in his field. Professor G. Yablonsky is an Associate Research Professor of Chemistry at Parks College and the College of Arts and Sciences. Previously (1997-2007), he was a Research Associate Professor in the Department of Energy, Environmental and Chemical Engineering as Washington University in St. Louis. He is a world recognized expert in the area of chemical kinetics and chemical engineering, in catalytic technology particularly, which is one of main driving forces of sustainable development. He has authored two monographs and more than 200 peer-reviewed papers on these topics. Denis Constales is associate professor of mathematical analysis at Ghent University. His work centres on the application of of integral transforms, special functions and computer algebra to problems ranging from hypercomplex analysis to applied mathematical modelling, with a strong emphasis on topics from chemical engineering and reaction kinetics. He has co-authored two monographs and more than 100 peer-reviewed papers on these subjects.
