Learning Outcomes
1.
Explain how to derive rate of reaction equation based on
elementary reaction, steady state approximation, rate
controlling step and experimental data, the concept of
conversion for changing & unchanging volume.
2.
Analyze the rate for serial, multiple & complex reactions.
3.
Derive reactor design equations for plug flow, CSTR & batch
reactors and determine the size of reactor required for single
or multiple reactors with different arrangements.
4.
Derive energy equation & evaluate effect of heat on rate of
reaction and reactor size and identify multiple steady state
phenomena.
5.
Practice effective teamwork practices.
Synopsis
This course introduces the concept of chemical reaction
engineering such as rate expressions, conversion and etc. These
concepts are used to derive equation for rate of reaction, based
on pseudo steady state assumption, rate limiting step
assumptions. The rate equations can be used to derive design
equation for different types of reactors (batch, CSTR, PFR, PBR)
and reaction schemes (constant and variable volume). Based on
the knowledge of types of reactors, the experimental data for
determination of kinetic parameters can be analysed. The course
also covers mass and energy balances to examine multiple steady
state phenomenon for non isothermal and adiabatic reactors.
