7 CourseSynopsis
This subject covers the knowledge of the reaction kinetics and reactor design which
distinguishes chemical engineer from other engineers. The course introduces the
basic design calculation and design of commercial chemical reactors, emphasizing
synthesis of chemical kinetics and transport phenomena. The topics cover in this
subject are kinetic rate theory, chemical reaction in batch and continuous systems,
reaction and catalysis, temperature effect, effect of heat transfer and catalytic
reactoralsoreactordesign,sizingandmodelingperformance.
