Course Objectives The main objective of this course is to improve students’ understanding of the basic reaction engineering, to educate them as to define and analyze the chemical reactions appeared in both daily life and chemical engineering by showing them that the principles of the chemical kinetics are also applicable to living systems as well as to the production of chemicals. By this course, they will be able to define and solve the reaction engineering problems.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Discuss reactor selection and the types and properties of multiple reactions and derive general mole balances for simultaneous reactions.
  • Propose reaction mechanism and derive rate expressions for non-elementary reactions
  • Derive the energy balance to solve reactor design problems, derive and modify the energy balance for its applications to various reactor types and the coupling of energy balance with the mole balance, rate laws and stoichiometry to design non-isothermal reactors.
  • Diagnose and handle chemical reactors whose performance deviates from the ideal and principles behind the analysis of non-ideal reactors.
Course Content Catalysis and catalytic reactors, non-isothermal reactor design, adiabatic and non-adiabatic operations, reactor design with diffusion effects, non-elementary reactions, multiple reactions, multiphase reactors, distributions of residence times for chemical reactors.
