HINSHELWOOD, SIR CYRIL N. (1897-1968). An English chemist who won the Nobel prize for chemistry in 1956 along with Nikolay Semenov, a Russian. He authored The Kinetics of Chemical Change." The Structure of Physical Chemistry." and many other journal articles. His work clarified inorganic and organic reactions. He was educated at Oxford before he began lecturing and research. 

Though Crowfoot had made important contributions to science, at the end of the war her rank at Oxford was still only that of Tutor. Deeply in debt, she realised that most of her male colleagues had university positions as well as research appointments, so she asked Cyril Hinshelwood, Professor of Physical Chemistry,64 to help her acquire a better position. With his help, she was appointed as a University Lecturer and Demonstrator in 1946.

Stability and dynamics of chemical reactions within batch systems date back to the pioneering work of Russian scientist Nikolay Semenov on chain reactions and combustion, for which he shared the 1956 Nobel Prize with Sir Cyril Hinshelwood. There have since been considerable literature contributions, the most widely studied system being the irreversible first order reaction A B with Arrhenius kinetics k T) = kot p —E/RT). The mass balance (in dimensionless variables) within the reactor yields ...

This challenge was met by Russian chemist Nikolai Nikolaevich Semenov (1896-1986), working in St. Petersburg, and, independently, English chemist Cyril Norman Hinshelwood (1897-1967) at Oxford. In 1928 they each developed the concept of a branched chain reaction to account for the kinetics of these explosions and their strange dependence on pressure and temperature. 

Hinshelwood, Sir Cyril Norman (1897-1967) English chemist who, simultaneously with Nikolay Semenov, investigated chemical reaction kinetics in the interwar years, for which they shared the Nobel Prize in chemistry in 1956. He was a linguist and classical scholar, and was president of the Royal Society.

Physical Chemistry was coined as a term in 1752 by the scientific polymath and poet Mikhail Lomonosov [1], but it was recognised and defined as a specific discipline only towards the end of the nineteenth century. Definitions and distinctions were discussed and exemplified by Jean Perrin in his magistral Traite de Chimie Physique of 1903 [2] which clearly defined the overlap between the subjects now known as physical chemistry and chemical physics. In essence both of these fields involved the opening up of chemistry to the techniques and thought processes of physics. Extension of physical chemistry, and its relation to physics, to the sphere of biology became formally recognised 50 years later, as exemplified by the arguments and presentation of Cyril Hinshelwood in his popular tome The Structure of Physical Chemistry , published in 1951 [3].
