Chemical Reaction Engineering
covers the material required for a basic understanding of chemical reaction engineering. The first chapter introduces the topic. The next chapter considers the materials balance for chemical reactions. The chapter after that examines the calculation of reactor volume and residence time. The chapter that follows is about multiple reactions. The text also covers the energy balance and temperature effects. The last chapter is about non-ideal reactors.

Pericyclic Reactions starts with a chapter on the nature of pericyclic reactions and considers how important they are. The following chapter looks at cycloaddition reactions. The text thereafter examines the Woodward–Hoffmann rules and molecular orbitals. There follows a chapter on electrocyclic reactions. Towards the end, the book moves on to sigmatropic rearrangements before turning to group transfer reactions in the final chapter.

Process Development starts off by looking at the scope of process development and strategies for process development, before moving onto pre-reaction equilibria. There are chapters on competing reactions in homogeneous media and mixing effects in pseudo-homogeneous systems. Next, the text covers equilibria in multiphase systems. It also explains dispersion and mass transfer in multiphase systems and mass-transfer and reaction in two-phase systems. Finally, the text looks at product isolation and workup and scale-up.
