In most textbooks on chemical reaction engineering, catalytic combustion is mentioned either only briefly or not at all. This book clearly and concisely explains how to apply concepts in chemical reaction engineering and transport phenomena to the design of catalytic combustion systems. It presents full background material in thermodynamics, kinetics, and transport phenomena, addresses the modelling of catalytic combustion reactors, and examines homogeneous gas phase reactions. The authors then present three detailed examples of catalytic combustion utilized as a primary combustion process and natural gas is used as a fuel: stationary gas turbines, process fluid heaters, and radiant heaters.
