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 multi-component reaction, non-isothermal reaction, and non-ideal flow reaction conditions. Reactor design is taught, based on the mass- and heat-balances in the reactor, taking the complex and non-ideal conditions into consideration.
By the end of this course, students will be able to:
1) derive mass- and heat-balances inside reactor
2) Reactor design for multiple component system
3) Reactor design under non-isothermal condition
4) Reactor design under non-ideal flow condition

✔ Specialist skills | Intercultural skills | Communication skills | Critical thinking skills | ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
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.
