Résumé :
|
An informal survey of recent archival publications indicates that academic and industrial research in reaction engineering are interconnected, and they keep pace with those in the other engineering sciences, with one exception: the textbooks on reaction engineering incorporate many obsolete concepts, neglect some of the advances, and focus on the solution of overly simplified models. It is presumed that these characteristics carry over to the classroom. This is a serious matter, because chemical engineers, throughout their careers, are apt to cling to the concepts and textbooks that they acquire while in school. The simplest and perhaps most effective corrective for these shortcomings is the distribution of electronic supplements by the teacher.
