Chemical reaction engineering – I

Chemical reaction engineering – I.

This Chemical reaction course will provide an overview of chemical kinetics and reactor design at a basic to an intermediate level. Coverage will be relatively broad.

This course applies the concepts of reaction rate, stoichiometry, and equilibrium to the analysis of chemical and biological reacting systems such as the derivation of rate expressions from reaction mechanisms and equilibrium or steady-state assumptions and design of chemical and biochemical reactors via synthesis of chemical kinetics, and mass and energy balances.

The goal is to provide students with the theoretical/analytical background to understand chemical kinetics and reactor design and to tackle the short of complex problems.
