Course description and aims
In Advanced Reaction Process Engineering, a lecture for graduate students (mainly graduate school first graders), students study the fundamentals and applications of the catalytic reaction engineering.
First, understand the outline of a suitable reactor for synthesizing chemicals (raw materials of chemicals) from fossil resources, and learn how to analyze the reaction kinetics using plug-flow reactor (PFR). Next, after understanding Fick’s diffusion low and mass-transfer phenomena by diffusion, we learn gas-solid catalytic reaction. Understand the diffusion and reaction within the porous solid catalyst, and learn the catalyst evaluation method using Thiele modulus and effectiveness factor. Finally, we will learn the catalyst deactivation phenomena and deactivation function.
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.
Course schedule/Required learning
| Course schedule | Required learning | |

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.
