Course Overview

This course introduces students to chemical reactor design and theories in the area of chemical kinetics and reaction engineering with emphasis on homogeneous and heterogeneous reactions. It will examine some problems related to multiple reactions and nonisothermal operations. Students will also work cooperatively on a computer assignment to expose them to solving complex problems using software packages such as PolyMath.

Learning Achievement

1. Ability to apply mole balance equation for isothermal reactor design. 2. Ability to analyze kinetic data to determine rate law parameters. 3. Ability to design a reactor for a range of conditions complex reaction system. 4. Ability to derive energy balance for solving non-isothermal reactor design. 5. Ability to work in a team to configure and solve complex design problems for different reactor system.
