Prerequisites
Knowledge of ideal chemical reactors, chemical kinetics and thermodynamics.
Objectives
Develop abilities in the analysis of real reactors through the residential distribution theory and understand the impact of catalysis in transformation processes namely through the study of
catalytic reactors.
Program
1 Introduction: revision work on ideal chemical reactors and experimental determination of reaction kinetics.
2 Distribution of residential times characteristics, experimental determination and modelling of real reactors.
3 Catalysers and catalytic reactors. Catalysis; catalyser diffusion, convection and reaction; modelling of fixed-bed catalytic reactors
Evaluation Methodology
Final mark is the weighted average of an individual assignment(continuous assessment) or a written test (during exam season) and the laboratory reports (practical component).
