| Summary |
|---|
| Subject Chemical Reactor Engineering deals with the kinetics of chemical reactions in homogeneous systems (liquid and gas), with a methodology for the collection and evaluation of kinetic data, basic model ideas of isothermal and non-isothermal chemical reactors, their design and simulation, heterogeneous reactors and basic concepts of non-ideal flow and its detection. |
| Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit |
|---|
| The aim of the course is to apply knowledge of chemical kinetics, thermodynamics and hydrodynamics, theory of heat and mass transfer in the design and simulation of chemical reactors. |
