Chemical and Biological Reaction Engineering (MIT 10.37)
by K. Dane Wittrup, William Green · MIT OpenCourseWare
Rate laws from reaction mechanisms, enzymatic and cell growth kinetics, batch, plug flow and stirred-tank reactors, heterogeneous catalysis, and heat and mass transport in reactors. Lecture notes, problem sets and exams with solutions prepare learners to design chemical and biochemical reactors.

Website of Chemical Engineering magazine, a trade publication from Access Intelligence covering separations, heat transfer, automation, water treatment and solids handling. Useful for plant-practice news and equipment reference; much editorial content sits behind a paid membership, and some articles are sponsored.
Chemical Reaction Engineering
Second edition (1972) of Octave Levenspiel's classic introduction to reactor design: interpreting kinetic data, sizing ideal batch, plug flow and mixed flow reactors, handling multiple reactions and temperature effects, non-ideal flow and residence time distributions, and catalytic and fluidized-bed systems.
Elements of Chemical Reaction Engineering
Second edition (1991) of H. Scott Fogler's standard reaction engineering text, building reactor design from mole balances, rate laws and stoichiometry to isothermal and nonisothermal reactors, multiple reactions, catalysis, residence time distributions and diffusion effects, using a structured problem-solving algorithm.
Chemical Reactor Analysis and Design
Second edition (1990) of Froment and Bischoff's graduate text, covering applied kinetics of homogeneous and catalytic reactions, transport effects in catalyst particles, and the modeling and design of tubular, fixed-bed, fluidized-bed and multiphase reactors as practiced in industry.
