The work presents a brief introduction of basic principles and relevant theory, then goes on to cover the real-world applications of these principles, including economic evaluations of alternatives as well as supplier evaluation principles.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo aid in quick and seamless reader comprehension, each chapter has the symbols used in that chapter listed and defined at the end. Overall, the work is written more as a how-to book than an academic treatise. The highly qualified author has included plenty of brevity throughout the pages with the hopes that readers go through the entire book as a single unit, rather than just skimming an occasional page or chapter as is common with other resources in similar fields.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSample topics covered in the work include:  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvoiding common problems, such as using impeller diameters and speeds that would not result in even minimal solids suspension or liquid motion\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eChoosing the right impellers for the job, understanding how power draw and pumping are calculated, and becoming familiar with biofuel\/biomass agitator sizing guidelines\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe principles and limitations of scale-up and the most common non-Newtonian rheology applicable to biofuel applications\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDesigning lab tests and scale-up cellulosic hydrolysis agitation, plus the uses and limitations of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eAs an easy-to-read and completely comprehensive resource to the subject, \u003ci\u003eAgitator Design Technology for Biofuels and Renewable Chemicals\u003c\/i\u003e is immensely valuable for professionals tasked with selecting agitation equipment or troubleshooting existing equipment, as well as those involved in planning activities and allocating resources related to project management.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eForeword xix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eForeword to \u003ci\u003eAgitator Design Technology for Biofuels and Renewable Chemicals\u003c\/i\u003e, Gregory T.
