"Chemical Kinetics" ed. by Vivek Patel

The objective of this book is to give academia, research scientists, research scholars, science and engineering students and industry professionals an overview of the kinetics quantities such as rates, rate constants, enthalpies, entropies, and volume of activation.

The book is designed to help the reader, particularly students and researchers of physical science, understand the chemical kinetics mechanics and chemical reactions. This book is aimed primarily at physical science (mainly chemistry) technologists.
