Octave Levenspiel is an emeritus professor of chemical engineering at Oregon State University. His principal interest has been chemical reaction engineering, a branch of chemical engineering studying the application of chemical reaction kinetics and physics to the design of chemical reactors. He was born in Shanghai, China, in 1926, where he attended a German grade school, an English high school and a French university. He studied at UC Berkeley and at Oregon State University where he received a Ph.D. in 1952. He is the originator of the Octave Levenspiel's fountain, which is a special kind of a diffusion machine. The Levenspiel plot is named for him. Professor Octave Levenspiel was well known among his students for his ability to do quick back-of-the-envelope calculations. GNU Octave, a high-level language primarily intended for numerical computations and developed by John W. Eaton, a former student of Octave Levenspiel, is named after him. ==Books== All of Levenspiel's books listed below have been translated to several other languages. *''Chemical Reaction Engineering'', Wiley; 3 Sub edition (August 13, 1998), ISBN 0-471-25424-X *''The Chemical Reactor Omnibook'', Oregon St Univ Bookstores (January 1993), ISBN 0-88246-160-5 *''Fluidization Engineering'' (coauthored), Butterworth-Heinemann Ltd; (October 1991), ISBN 0-409-90233-0 *''Engineering Flow and Heat Exchange'', Plenum Pub Corp (Dez. 1984), ISBN 0-306-41599-2 *''Understanding Engineering Thermo'', Prentice Hall PTR; (September 4, 1996), ISBN 0-13-531203-5 *''Rambling through Science and Technology, Lulu, 2007 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Octave Levenspiel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
