Kinetics and Reactor Design

(3 Credits)

This course provides the fundamentals of thermodynamics and kinetics of chemical and biomolecular reactions and the development of skills to analyze and design reactor systems. Topics include homogeneous and heterogeneous reactors of various types, catalyzed and non-catalyzed reactors, and the design of single and cascaded chemical and bio-reactors. Safety information pertinent to reactor design, including runaway reactions and several case studies, is also covered. | Prerequisites: CBE-UY 3153 , CBE-UY 3313 .
