Course description and aims

Chemical process is composed of reaction and separation units, in which chemical reaction unit is one of the most important units. This course provides a method to design several-types of reactors in which heterogeneous reaction systems such as gas-solid, gas-liquid and gas-liquid-solid reactions proceed under non-uniform temperature distribution condition.
　In the heterogeneous system, endothermic and exothermic reaction will proceed in the reactor. First, mass- and heat-balances in the reactor are taught. In gas-solid catalytic reaction and gas-solid reaction, the determination for the rate-limiting step is explained based on the diffusion and reaction rates within pores. In gas-liquid chemical adsorption and gas-liquid-solid reaction, the concentration distribution of reactant within laminar films around the boundary layer is also explained. Finally, the reactor design is taught, taking the temperature distribution inside reactor into consideration.

Student learning outcomes

By the end of this course, students will be able to:
1)　derive mass- and heat-balances inside reactor
2)　Gas-solid catalytic reaction
3)　Gas-solid reaction
4)　Gas-liquid chemical adsorption and gas-liquid-solid reaction
5)　Reactor design with temperature distribution

Keywords

Mass-balance, Heat-balance, Reaction rate, Chemical reaction, Catalytic reaction, Reactor

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 class, students are given exercise problems related to what is taught on that day to solve.

Course schedule/Required learning

  Course schedule Required learning
