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 investiga-tions in batch and flow reactors, determination of the rate equation. Calculation of ideal reactor size and optimum tempera-ture progression. Heterogeneous catalysis and catalytic reactors. Important industrial reactor types and processes, calculations on industrial reactors. |
