Anti Requisite(s): | 302263 (v.2) ChE 325 Reaction Engineering or any previous version
|
Syllabus: | Reaction equilibrium, reaction kinetics and rate, interpretation of batch reactor data, batch and continuous reactor, reactor geometries, ideal tubular, mixed and staged reactors, design for single and multiple reactions, thermal and pressure effects, isothermal and non-isothermal homogeneous reactions, deviations from ideal reactor models, heterogeneous reaction systems including solid catalysed reactions and residence time distributions. |
| |
Unit Outcomes: | An understanding of basic chemical kinetics and its application in the design of different types of industrial reactors. Design both reactors for either homogeneous or heterogeneous reaction systems and also design catalytic reactors. Outcomes will reflect the level of the enrolled student at postgraduate level, ie certificate, diploma or masters. |
