WelcomeNavigationComponentsUsage

Welcome

This CD-ROM is intended to be used as a learning resource; the material on this CD-ROMsupports the chemical reaction engineering concepts covered in the text. You are encouragedto use the CD-ROM to supplement and expand upon your own studies. We are certain thatyou will find the extra knowledge you gain will be worthy of the time you invest to obtain it.

Warnings!

Macintosh UsersThe majority of the files on the CD-ROM are HTML files. Great carewas taken in trying to insure that these files would work on both PCsand Macs. However, many of the non-HTML files on the CD-ROM(i.e., Polymath, all of the Interactive Computer Modules, and most ofthe plug-ins included on the CD) are Windows/DOS-based programs,for which there are (unfortunately) no Macintosh equivalents. Youmay still use these files, if you have a PC emulator program on yourMac, such as Virtual PC.

ICMsSome users have experienced problems, trying to run the Interactive Computer Modulesdirectly from the ICM directory on the CD-ROM. If you have trouble with being able to runthe Interactive Computer Modules from the CD-ROM, then try installing them on your harddrive.

Hidden FilesTo clear up some of the confusion about which files to use in certain directories (e.g.,Polymat4 and ICMs), some files and folders were hidden. You may find it easier to navigatethe CD-ROM, if you make certain that you are NOT viewing hidden files.

Recommended Software

Before you begin, we advise you to download or install the following software programs andplug-ins on your computer, if they are not already present on your system:

Introduction


Adobe Acrobat Reader and Plug-in

The Appendices (and certain other files on the CD-ROM) are in PDFformat. You must have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed to access thesefiles. You will also need the Adobe Acrobat Reader Plug-in to readthese files from your web browser.

Note: The PC version of Adobe Acrobat Reader 3.02 has beenincluded on the CD-ROM in a directory called Software\Adobe. Ifyou run the ar302.exe program, it will install the reader softwareand the browser plug-in on your computer.

Apple QuickTime Plug-in

There are a few QuickTime movies on the CD-ROM, which will requirethe QuickTime Plug-in to view them.

Note: QuickTime 3.0 (for PCs) has been included on the CD-ROMin a directory called Software\Quick. If you run the quick3.exeprogram, it will install the movie viewer and the plug-in on yourcomputer and in your browser, respectively.

WinZip (Optional)

Some of the Polymath files for the Living Example Problems arearchived as Zip files. You may need an unzip utility, such as WinZip toaccess them. See the Polymath section of the CD-ROM for moreinformation.

MATLAB (Optional)

In addition to Polymath, you may use MATLAB to access the LivingExample Problems. See the MATLAB section of the CD-ROM formore information.

Easter Egg

file:///H:/htmlmain/easter.htm[05/12/2011 16:54:02]

Easter EggThis is the only easter egg that I know of on the CD-ROM (but there may be more). My name is Dieter AndrewSchweiss, and after devoting a year of my life to this project, I had to put something hidden on this thing!

I've really enjoyed working with Scott, the University of Michigan Team, and the people from Prentice-Hall on thisCD-ROM project. It has helped me fulfill a long-time dream of contributing to the accumulated knowledge that is thefield of Chemical Engineering. (That, and the fact that nothing quite like this CD had ever been done before in ChE!)

Anyways, good luck with your classes. Be sure to use the resources available to you on this CD, especially the LectureNotes and the worked example problems. They'll really come in handy. (Trust me, I know!)

I like what this symbol represents:

life is a balance between order and chaos, yet pure order still retains some element of chaos and pure chaos retains some element of order (kind of like my desk...)

Special Recognition

Professor H. Scott Fogler would like to extend a special thanks to Dieter Andrew Schweiss, without whom theElements of Chemical Reaction Engineering CD-ROM would never have been possible. Dieter worked countless daysand nights to bring this project to completion, coordinating his efforts with both the University of Michigan Team andthe Prentice-Hall Team. Thank you, Dieter!

Each chapter is broken into the following bulleted components:

Learning ResourcesSummary NotesWeb ModulesInteractive Computer ModulesSolved Problems

Living Example Problems

Professional Reference Shelf

Additional Homework Problems

Learning ResourcesThese resources give an overview of the material in each chapter and provide extra explanations, examples, andapplications to reinforce the basic concepts of chemical reaction engineering. The learning resources on the CD-ROM include:

1. Summary NotesThe Summary Notes of the lectures given at the University of Michigan will serve as an overview ofeach chapter. They contain a logical flow of the equations being derived, along with additionalexamples and material that can be viewed either before or after reading the text. The first 26 lecturesare covered in a four-credit hour undergraduate course. The last 11 (27-37) are taken from thegraduate course at the University of Michigan.

2. Web ModulesThese modules show how key concepts of chemical reaction engineering can be applied to non-standard problems (e.g. the use of Wetlands to degrade toxic chemicals). Current modules focus onChapters 4 and 6 and include Wetlands, Cobra Bites, Membrane Reactors and Reactive Distillationmodules. Additional web modules (http://www.engin.umich. edu/~cre) are expected to be addedover the next several years.

3. Interactive Computer ModulesMost chapters have one or more interactive computer modules (ICMs) to accompany them as alearning resource. For these chapters, students can use the corresponding ICM(s) to review theimportant material and then apply it to real problems in a unique and entertaining fashion. Eachmodule contains:

MenuReview of conceptsInteractive problem

Components


Solution to the problem

For example, in the Murder Mystery module students take on the role of assistant sleuth as they usebasic chemical engineering principles to solve the strange disappearance of several of the NutmegaSpice Company's employees. This particular module has long been a favorite with students acrossthe nation.

4. Solved ProblemsA number of solved problems are presented along with problem solving heuristics. Problem solvingstrategies and additional worked example problems and are available in the Thoughts on ProblemSolving section of the CD-ROM. The Ten Types of Homework Problems section contains twoworked examples for each of the ten homework problem types. These examples are based on thematerial from Chapter 4, and they provide useful information on how one can attack homeworkproblems. The section on Getting Unstuck is especially helpful.

Living Example ProblemsThe example problems that use an ODE solver (e.g., POLYMATH) are referred to as "living exampleproblems," because the students can load the program directly on their own computers in order to study it.Students are then encouraged to "play" with the example's key variables and assumptions. Students canchange parameter values, such as the reaction rate constants to learn to deduce trends or predict thebehavior of a given reaction system, and gain a better understanding of the concepts being studied. Usingthe living example problems provides students with the opportunity to practice critical and creativethinking skills as they explore the problem and ask "what if...?" questions.

Professional Reference ShelfThis section of the CD-ROM contains:

(1) material that is important to the practicing engineer, although it is typically not included in the majorityof chemical reaction engineering courses. A short synopsis of each of the following topics is given at theappropriate point in the text. These sections are:

i. Photographs of real reactorsii. Recycle reactors

iii. Weighted least squaresiv. Experimental planningv. Laboratory reactors

vi. Inhibition and cofactors in enzymatic reactorsvii. Bifurcation analysis

viii. Wet and dry etching of semiconductorsix. Catalytic monolithsx. Wire gauze reactors

xi. Trickle bed reactorsxii. Fluidized bed reactors

xiii. CVD boat reactors

(2) material that gives a more detailed explanation of derivations that were abbreviated in the text.The intermediate steps to these derivations are given on the CD-ROM:

a) First order reaction in a semibatch reactorb) Temperature-conversion relationship for an adiabatic reactorc) Aris-Taylor dispersion

Additional Homework ProblemsNew problems were developed for this edition that provide a greater opportunity to use today's

computing power to solve realistic problems. In addition, parts of problems were designed topromote and develop critical thinking skills. Many instructors alternate the homework problems theyassign from year to year, ususally taken from a limited number of problems at the end of eachchapter. Consequently, some of the more traditional, yet excellent problems of previous editionswere placed on the CD-ROM and they can serve as practice problems along with those unassignedproblems in the text.

All living example problems on the CD are in both POLYMATH and MatLab Format. ThePOLYMATH program can either be loaded to a computer and executed directly from the CD-ROM.The POLYMATH examples may also be loaded on a computer or run directly from the CD-ROM.In order to execute MatLab examples, MatLab must be available on a server with a site license orthe student version of MatLab must be purchased. Similarly, in regard to ASPEN, the CD shows anexample of how to use ASPEN to solve chemical reaction engineering problems, however, a sitelicense must be available to actually use ASPEN to solve the homework problems.

Representative Syllabi for both 3 and 4 Credit CoursesThe syllabi give a sample pace at which the courses could be taught as well as suggested homeworkproblems.

UsageHow to Use the CD-ROM

The primary purpose of the CD-ROM is to serve as an enrichment resource. The objectives are fourfold:

(1) To provide the option/opportunity for further study or clarification on a particular concept or topicthrough Lecture Notes, additional examples, interactive computing modules and web modules,

(2) To provide the opportunity to practice critical thinking skills, creative thinking skills, and problemsolving skills through the use of "What if" questions and "living example problems,"

(3) To provide additional technical material for the professional bookshelf,

(4) To provide other tutorial information, such as additional homework problems, thoughts on problemsolving, how to use computational software in chemical reaction engineering, and a representative coursestructure.

There are a number of ways one can use the CD in conjunction with the text. The general guideline is thatthe CD provides enrichment resources for the reader. Pathways on how to use the materials to learnchemical reaction engineering are shown in Figure I-1 and I-2.

The keys to the CRE learning flow sheet are:

II. Practicing Engineer

Figure CDI-2 "A" Problem Solving Pathway to Integrate text, CD.

III. Instructor

Figure CDI-3 Resources for Instructors

The author recommends that instructors use the living example problems before assigning home problems,but they may be by-passed if time is not available. This is, of course, true for all of the enrichmentresources. Please note however, that class testing had shown that the enrichment resources not only aidstudents in learning the material, but they also motivate students by the novel use of CRE principles.

Possible Implementation Strategies

I. Learning Resources

A. Lecture Notes: This material could be reviewed before reading the chapter get an overview of thematerial.

B. Interactive Computer Modules - (ICM): Each module requires approximately 30 minutes tocomplete. If a module is not assigned or required, the student could quickly go on through theReview of Fundamentals Section to get an overview or to review (ca. 10 min.). The completemodules could be used by the student as a self test to check their level of understanding. A numberof schools assign one either every week or every other week.

C. Web Modules: This material can be used to motivate students by showing them the wide range ofCRE applications of or as a basis for special projects or open-ended problems. The general problemsolving algorithm could be one of the first modules to be reviewed.

Navigation


D. Solved Examples: After reading the material in the chapters and studying the example problems,students have the opportunity to see one or two more solved problems before embarking onsolutions of the homework problems.

II. Living Example ProblemsThese examples are meant to be used in conjunction with the second problem of every chapter, beginningwith Chapter 4 (i.e. P4-2). Typically one might assign a living example problem (e.g. P6-2) as one of thefirst problems assigned in a chapter to get students familiar and comfortable with the material.

III. Professional Reference ShelfThis material is important to the practicing engineer, but is not included in the majority of undergraduateor graduate courses in chemical reaction engineering. Consequently, instructors my pick and choose fromthis material along the lines of special topics. Material from Chapters 5, 8, 9 and 12 are used in thegraduate course at the University of Michigan (i.e. Experimental Planning, Bifurcation Analysis, Controlof Chemical Reactors, and the K. L. Model of Fluidized Beds, respectively).

IV. The Web (http://www.engin.umich.edu/~cre)The web will be used to update the CD-ROM and text material, provide new examples and more solvedproblems, and correct of typographical errors from the first printing of the 3rd Edition.

Polymath

file:///H:/html/toolbox/polymath/index.htm[05/12/2011 16:54:36]

PolymathPolymath is a DOS-based program that can help you solve differential equations, analyze rate data (with non-linearregression, etc.), and more. The program is fairly straight-forward, but you will want to read through the PolymathManual before you start. Then we recommend that you take the Polymath Short Course to start you on your way.

Polymath-Related Files

Polymath Program Files

Polymath has been included on your CD-ROM in a directory called Polymat4. You can run Polymath directly fromyour CD-ROM, or you can install Polymath on your hard drive.

Polymath Examples (aka, Living Example Problems)

You may have noticed that certain chapters have links to Living Example Problems. The example problems areactually in the text for the 3rd edition of Elements of Chemical Reaction Engineering, not on the CD-ROM. Thechapter links for these examples direct you to the Polymath code for these problems. The Polymath code for the LivingExample Problems from Chapters 2-10 and Chapters 13-14 is in the Html\Toolbox\Polymath\Examples directory onyour CD-ROM. Each chapter is represented by a folder named Ch#, which is short for chapter number, of course.

The Polymath code for these examples has been included on the CD-ROM for your convenience, so you won't have towaste time duplicating the examples from the text. (See the section on accessing the example problems or thePolymath Short Course for more information.) Once you load up an example, you are encouraged to "play around withit" by modifying the values of constants, varying key parameters, etc. In this way, you can get a feel for howmodifying different variables will affect your results.

Using Polymath

Polymath is easy to use -- once you know how! See the section on Using Polymath for more information, and don'tforget to take a look at the Polymath Manual for instructions on how to run and generally use Polymath:

Why Two Versions of Polymath?

This is the second printing of the text and the CD. Polymath 4.1 has better printing features than Polymath 4.0.2, but itwas not available for the first printing of the CD. We could have replaced Polymath 4.0.2 with Polymath 4.1, but wedecided to make both versions available instead.

Polymath Short Course

You can also take a look at the Polymath Short Course for a quick-and-dirty introduction to Polymath. You won'tlearn everything about Polymath, but you will learn enough to get you started, so you can "play around" with theLiving Example Problems.
