| Aim: The aim of the course is to give the students a basic knowledge of chemical kinetics so that they will be able to demonstrate the methods of calculation and solutions to chemical reaction engineering problems; to teach the planning of laboratory experiments, the treatment of data and the calculation of main dimensions of simple reactors for homogeneous and heterogeneous reactions; to give knowledge of the most important reactor types, their use and design. |
| Contents: Chemical kinetics. Reaction mechanisms for homogeneous and heterogeneous reactions. Laboratory investigations in batch and flow reactors, determination of the rate equation. Calculation of ideal reactor size and optimum temperature progression. Heterogeneous catalysis and catalytic reactors. Important industrial reactor types and processes, calculations on industrial reactors. |
