PREFACE
This volume of the Advances in Engineering Fluid Mechanics Series covers topics in
hydrodynamics related to polymerization of elastomers and plastics. Emphasis is given
to advanced concepts in multiphase reactor systems often used in the manufacturing of
these products. This volume is comprised of 30 chapters that address key subject areas
such as multiphase mixing concepts, multicomponent reactors and the hydrodynamics
associated with their operation, and slurry flow behavior associated with non-Newtonian
flows. The intent of this book is to provide new concepts and an understanding of
rheologically complex systems that undergo both phase changes and are subject to high
transport exchanges. The series intends to explore additional areas including the dynamics
of polymer processing operations.
As in preceding volumes in this series. Multiphase Reactor and Polymerization System
Hydrodynamics is comprised of contributions by recognized researchers and industry
members. The efforts of these authors should be commended. A special thanks is extended
to Gulf Publishing Company for its fine production of this series.
