Module description
The design and operation of chemical reactors is at the core of Chemical Engineering. In this module you will apply the principles of chemical engineering to select appropriate reactors for specific reactions and conditions. You will be introduced to different types of reactions, such as homogeneous and heterogeneous, batch and continuous, single, parallel, and multiple reactions, and apply the concepts of conversion, selectivity and yield. You will also become familiar with different types of reactors, such as plug-flow and continuous stirred tank reactors. Catalytic reactions and reactors will also be covered, along with enzymatic or microbial reactions and their bio-reactors.
