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 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.

Student learning outcomes

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

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
Class 1 Reactor design under multiple component condition Understand heat- and mass-balance within reactor under multiple component condition
Class 2 Reactor design under multiple component condition Design a reactor under multiple component condition
Class 3 Reactor design under non-isothermal condition Understand heat- and mass-balance within reactor under non-isothermal condition
Class 4 Reactor design under non-isothermal condition Design a reactor under non-isothermal condition
Class 5 Reactor design under non-ideal flow condition Understand heat- and mass-balance within reactor under non-ideal flow condition
Class 6 Reactor design under non-ideal flow condition Design a reactor under non-ideal flow condition
Class 7 Optimization of reactor Understand optimization of reactor under non-ideal conditions
Class 8 Exercise problems to assess the student's level of understanding on what has been taught so far. Revies the course contents. Use the exercise problems to better understand the topics covered, and evaluate one's own progress.
