Authorised by Academic Registrar, April 1996
Objectives The student is expected to acquire a basic knowledge and understanding of the analysis of reaction rate data, reaction mechanisms, series and parallel and complex reactions, energy balances for a CSTR, non-ideal flow and non-catalytic fluid-solid reactions.
Synopsis Rate data analysis; reaction mechanisms; chain reactions; isothermal reactors, mixed reactor systems; multiple reactions; energy effects - non-isothermal reactors, multiple steady states in a CSTR; residence time distributions and models for non-ideal flow reactors; non-catalytic fluid-solid reactions.
