Course description and aims
In this course, students will learn the fundamentals and applications of chemical reaction engineering.
This course provides an overview of chemical reaction processes from raw materials such as fossil resources to basic chemicals (raw materials for fine chemical production) and fine chemicals, as well as an understanding of the fundamentals of reactors. First, students will learn the application of reactors and reaction operations. Students will learn about semi-batch reactor operations, coupling of reactors, and recycling systems. Next, we will focus on the types of reactions (complex reactions, exothermic reactions, and solid catalytic reactions) and learn about the appropriate reactors and reactor design for each type of reaction.
Student learning outcomes
By the end of this course, students will be able to:
1) Understand the relationship between synthesis of chemicals and appropriate types of reactor
2) Understand the analytical method of reaction rate and kinetics
3) Understanding diffusion in the pores and reaction phenomena within the porous catalyst
4) Understand the Thiele modulus and the effective factor
5) Understand catalyst deterioration phenomenon
Keywords
Chemical reaction engineering, reaction rate analysis, diffusion and reaction, solid catalyst, effectiveness factor, catalyst deactivation phenomena
Competencies that will be developed
| ✔ Specialist skills | Intercultural skills | Communication skills | Critical thinking skills | ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
Class flow
Required learning should be completed outside of the classroom for preparation and review purpose.
In every class, a summary of the previous lecture is given.
Towards the end of each class, students are required to solve exercise problems related to the material covered in the class.

Out-of-Class Study Time (Preparation and Review)
To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend approximately 100 minutes preparing for class and another 100 minutes reviewing class content afterwards (including assignments) for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.
