    This document summarizes examples from Chapter 4 of Fogler's book on isothermal chemical reactors. It includes examples of determining the reaction rate constant from batch data, producing 200 million pounds per year in a continuous stirred-tank reactor, designing a plug-flow reactor to produce 300 million pounds per year of ethylene, calculating pressure drop in a packed bed reactor, modeling molar flow rates in a microreactor, and modeling a membrane reactor. The examples are presented along with the equations, calculations, and numerical solutions.
