The majority of manuscripts dealing with the
subject of chemical reactions, detailed chemical reaction models, and chemical
kinetics present the material with strong mathematical foundations and
emphasis.
This is the reason for the conceptual approach
taken in this manuscript where the result of the application
of theory in the form of mathematical models is not the major consideration
but the understanding of the fundamental concepts behind the complex
mathematical theories.
Even today, unfortunately, the industrial
professional performing the design of a chemical reactor may not have the
practical experience in Mathematics as well as Quantum Mechanics or Physical
Chemistry to fully understand the implications of the mathematical formulism.
This is especially true of the mathematical methods used in Quantum Chemistry
as well as quantum mechanics applications to the estimate of rates of chemical
reactions.
