CHEE 3634 Chemical Reaction Engineering
CREDIT HOURS: 3
This course introduces the subject of chemical reaction engineering. Classical reaction kinetics concerning rates, mechanisms, temperature effects and multiple reactions are studied. The concepts of batch, continuous stirred-tank and plug flow reactors are introduced for the ideal case. Non-isothermal reactors and non-ideal flow are considered in the design of chemical reactor systems. Heterogeneous reactors and catalysis are also discussed. Emphasis is placed on computational techniques for reactor problem solutions.
