Chemical Reaction Engineering II

At the end of this course, the students should be able to: 1. calculate conversion for different systems listed above; 2. develop performance equations for different types of reactors above using mass balances; 3. calculates different design parameters for parallel reactions and series reactions; 4. investigate the effect of temperature on reactor design and reaction parameters; 5. calculate enthalpy of reactions using given feed and product specifications; 6. calculate amounts of heat to be supplied or removed from a reactor; 7. develop design equations for reactors listed above; * It is expected that 2hrs every week should be used by students to learn how to use software such as CHEMCAD, ASPEN, HYSYS, etc, for simple calculations based on the content of this course.
