Course Objectives
Course Learning Outcomes	The students who succeeded in this course; • Develop the general balance equations for the most common industrial reactors • Define conversion, and rewrite the design equations in terms of conversion and describe how one may size a reactor once the relationship between reaction rate and conversion is known. • Study chemical kinetics and visualize how the reaction rate depends on the concentrations of the reacting species with illustrations and how to convert the reaction rate law from the concentration dependence to a dependence on conversion. • Study liquid-phase batch reactor and determine the specific rate constant needed for the design of a CSTR. • Describe the points in design of CSTR from batch reaction rate data and a tubular reactor for a gas-phase pyrolysis reaction. • Describe two common types of reactors for obtaining rate data, the batch reactor and the differential reactor. • Collect and analyze reaction rate data to obtain the rate law for a specific reaction • Define a catalyst, describe its properties and the steps in a catalytic reaction, apply the concept of a rate-limiting step to derive a rate law
