Study TCH 402 the smart way
Sage already knows this exact syllabus — ask it anything about Chemical Reaction Engineering I, generate practice questions in your exam's format, and get a cram sheet that works offline.
What you'll be able to do (official learning outcomes)
calculate conversion in batch and flow systems
size single batch, continuous-stirred tank, and plug flow reactors
size real reactors in different flow regimes, packed bed reactors catalytic reactors and unsteady state reactors
identify and determine the parameters in kinetic rate expressions for homogeneous reactions
maximise product selectivity for systems involving multiple reactions
use residence time distributions to find conversions for non-ideal mixing;
use computer software packages to assist in sizing reactors.
Course contents
Introduction to chemical kinetics; concentration versus time equations for single, irreversible reactions; concentration versus time equations for reversible reaction; design of the ideal PFR, CSTR; batch and semi-batch reactors and CSTRs in series. Real tubular reactors in laminar flow; Real tubular reactors in turbulent flow; packed bed reactors; unsteady reactors; residence time distribution functions for non-ideal flow reactors.
