The book includes numerical solutions of complex problems in which all supporting equations are provided for quantitative understanding. Detailed illustrations are also included throughout to elucidate key concepts. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHighlighting bioreactors, biomaterials, catalytic pellets, and other transport\/reactor applications, this newly revised and updated Second Edition explains and features cutting-edge knowledge on Maxwell-Stefan multicomponent mass transfer, external-field-stimulated kinetics, porous biomaterials for tissue engineering, and many other topics. The introductory section offers a review of elementary concepts in chemical reactor design as well as computer-aided problems that address coupled heat and mass transfer.  At a more advanced level, boundary-layer theory, surface science, and stress-sensitive kinetic rate expressions are included in various formulations of the reaction-diffusion equation. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContent features: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eAdiabatic temperature increase for exothermic reactions in isolated catalysts yields modifications to the original Prater equation when considering collision integrals, Soret diffusion, and Dufour conduction \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStress-kinetic couplings in tubular and rotational bioreactors when cells respond to viscous shear at the fluid-solid interface \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTissue regeneration in porous viscoelastic biomaterials when anchorage-dependent cells proliferate in response to oscillatory strain excitation \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhy stress-sensitive thresholds, quantified via dimensionless numbers in transport phenomena, must be considered to design bioreactors for tissue regeneration in living systems\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ci\u003eTransport Phenomena for Chemical and Biological Reaction Engineering\u003c\/i\u003e is an essential reference for professionals and graduate students in biomedical, biochemical, chemical, geothermal, civil, and mechanical engineering.
