4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars 54 ratings
See all formats and editions
Chemical reaction engineering is concerned with the exploitation of chemical reactions on a commercial scale. It's goal is the successful design and operation of chemical reactors. This text emphasizes qualitative arguments, simple design methods, graphical procedures, and frequent comparison of capabilities of the major reactor types. Simple ideas are treated first, and are then extended to the more complex.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for anyone interested in reaction engineering.

One of the best books on reaction engineering out there. This book has been translated to more languages than any other engineering text - that stands for itself.
Easily conveys complex topics, relating to real world situations.

I have used this book during my undergraduate course work and a great reference as a professional.

only the 2nd week of class but this appears to be the exact same as the university's book (at a fraction of the price). Haven't had a chance to check if the problems are the same as the ones for class, but I hope to update soon.

This is a great text on chemical reaction kinetics and I wish I would have had it before I took my PE exam. I am still waiting on results, I am confident I passed but struggled with 4-5 kinetics questions that this text would have been very helpful on. Even though I dont do reaction kinetics in my day to day job its a great technical reference.

This book is good at many of the first concepts, but once I hit chapter 8-9 it started to get more abstract. I don't think the book did a great job at explaining convolution and calculations around different types of reactors.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good book at higher level
Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2000
I used this book as a textbook in my undergraduate. In an undergraduate study, it is necessary to have new concepts explained to you in a unified manner so that ones sees where all the chemical engineering subjects are heading to. Chemical reaction engineering (CRE) basically deals with energy and material balance applied to chemical reactors to achieve a given purpose. The book tells you all the fundamentals about the chemical reaction engineering, the underlying principles but fails to draw this message straight that CRE is nothing but application of energy and material balance. And at undergraduate level, I could not draw this inference on my own and learned it in the graduate class when I took the advanced level course. The book also does not deal with the modern tools of solving reactor design problems with computers. We used Fogler's text book for first few classes in Graduate school. I would recommend this book which could be used as an undergraduate as well as graduate text/reference book. If you need to go to the earlier work and want to pursue research in this field, then Levenspiel is good as it has some original work references ( I believe this is an old book on CRE). Once you have the feel for the subject than the use of this book is undisputed. But if you are using this book to study CRE first time then I would recommend you use some good text book.

Additional comments 6 years later: I am currently using this books to solve some real industry problems and it has become clear to me how good this book is. Though I stick to my earlier comments which were written when I was fresh in to my graduate school for two reasons: how I felt about this book in my undergrad class and how much I learned from Fogler in Graduate level class. But Levenspiel does good justice to all the concepts in chemical reaction engineering and would definitely recommend it as a reference book. It provides many ways to analyze a chemical data and interpret it to determine the kinetics.

The subject is presented with a panoramic view which makes for a sense that it is within one's intellectual powers.
