Chap 7

Chapter 7 of the textbook 'Elements of Chemical Reaction Engineering' covers reaction mechanisms, pathways, bioreactions, and bioreactors. It discusses concepts such as active intermediates, nonelementary rate laws, and the pseudo-steady state hypothesis (PSSH). Additionally, it explores chain reactions and provides methods for searching for reaction mechanisms through correlation of rate data.
