Schmitt, Howard Klee, Debora M. Sparks, Mahesh K. Podar Index Pages 401-410 This volume is comprised of reviews to inform the chemical engineering community about important developments in science and technology, and to serve as starting points for further advances. Included are chapters on chemical reactions of all sorts, combustion synthesis, fluid dynamics and the analysis and design of chemical reactors, and industrial cases in environmental engineering. In principle, mixtures containing a very large number of components behave in a way described by the same general laws that regulate the behavior of mixtures containing only a comparatively small number of components.
