Chemical Reaction Engineering (CRE) is the field that studies the rates and mechanisms of
chemical reactions and the design of the reactors in which they take place.

OK folks, here is what we are going to do to put the above equation into a usable form.
1. Replace Ui by Ui=Hi-PVi
2. Express Hi in terms of heat capacities
3. Express Fi in terms of either conversion or rates of reaction4. Define ΔHRx
5. Define ΔCP
6. Manipulate so that the overall energy balance is either in terms of the User Friendly Equations.
