A similar nonlinear equation for heterogeneous catalytic systems was developed empirically by Olaf Hougen and Kenneth Watson and derived on a more scientific basis by Irving Langmuir and Cyril Hmshelwood. WTien applied to fluid reactants and solid catalysts, the nonlinear equation m its simplest form becomes...

Another series was subsequently launched by John Wiley Sons, who also assembled a distinguished advisory board (Fig. 9), theirs consisting of Tom Chilton and his visionary subordinate, Tom Drew, from Du Pont, Donald B. Keyes of the University of Illinois, Kenneth M. Watson of Universal Oil Products near Chicago, and Olaf A. Hougen of the University of Wisconsin. The latter two authored in 1931 a salutary text on Industrial Chemical Calculations, precursor of their pivotal three volumes on Chemical Process Principles. Hougen and Watson held that process problems are primarily chemical and physicochemical in nature, whereas unit-operation problems are for the most part physical [46]. (Incidentally, Wiley Sons did not claim for their series even the second edition of Hitchcock and Robinson s book, which they published.)... 

The Advisory Board is listed in the frontispiece of Olaf A. Hougen and Kenneth M. Watson, Industrial Chemical Calculations The Application of Physico-Chemical Principles and Data to Problems of Industry, Wiley, New York, 1931. Their later three volumes are Chemical Process Principles. Part One Material and Energy Balances, 1943 Part Two Thermodynamics, 1947 and Part Three Kinetics and Catalysis, 1947, all published by Wiley.
