In hmolscience, Hugh Scott Fogler (c.1942-), oft-cited as H. Scott Fogler, is an American chemical engineer noted for his his 1986 Elements of Chemical Reaction Engineering, wherein he refers to a man who incites a riot as a human catalyst.
Overview
In 1986, Fogler, in his Elements of Chemical Reaction Engineering, stated a man who starts a riot, but then quickly ducks out, thereby being unaffected by the reaction transformation, is an example of a human catalyst:
“A catalyst is a substance that affects the rate of a reaction but emerges from the process unchanged. A man inciting a mob to riot and then ducking out before the tanks roll in can be regarded as a [human] catalyst.”
