Class Objectives
/Class Outline
In this course, students study the fundamentals and advanced applications of reaction engineering. A central issue in the design and operation of reaction systems is how to model reaction processes and treat them mathematically. This course focuses on developing a rigorous understanding of reaction engineering through lectures on fluid mixing behavior in reactors and reaction engineering analyses of various industrial reaction processes.
In addition, the course addresses process intensification through reaction–separation systems that integrate reaction and separation in a single unit. Particular emphasis is placed on the applications and design of membrane reactors.
