Aims:
To provide an understanding of advanced reactor design and the principles and phenomena that are present in multiphase and catalytic reactions.
Learning Outcomes:
Upon completion of this module student should be able to:
- design advanced chemical reactors;
- evaluate the influence of mass transfer and hydrodynamics on reactor performance;
- apply advanced concepts for the design of chemical reactors;
- combine analytical and computational approaches for reactors design;
- critically evaluate what phenomena and under what circumstances need to be considered as related to the level of accuracy required for a specific design problem;
- gain experience on the operation and data analysis form laboratory chemical reactors;
Synopsis:
- Nonisothermal reactor design at steady and unsteady state
- Multiple reactions in PFR/CSTR
- Introduction to heterogeneous catalysis
- Mass transfer and reaction in heterogeneous catalytic reactions
- Design of fixed bed reactors
- Mass transfer and reaction in gas/liquid and gas/liquid/solid reactions
- Design of gas/liquid and las/liquid/solid reactors
- Nonideal reactors and residence time distribution
The Masters level (level 7) version of the module (CENG0018) has a stronger focus on unseen, and more open ended, problem solving.
