Learning Outcomes:
On completion of this module students should be able to
1. Develop rate expressions for constant density and variable density isothermal and non-isothermal reacting homogenous systems.
2. Apply steady state and unsteady state material and energy balances to homogenous, single and multiple reaction systems.
3. Design batch, semi-batch and continuous homogenous, isothermal reactions.
4. Apply concept of the use of residence time distributions in reaction engineering and to incorporate the effects of mixing on the design of real reactors using appropriate model reactor systems.
5. Identify the significant Safety, Health and Environment implications of certain types of reactions and reactor systems.
6. Solve complex reaction engineering problems using Excel and Matlab and to prepare technical reports describing the solutions to selected problems.
