CHE 34800 - Chemical Reaction Engineering
Credit Hours: 4.00. Application of kinetic rate equations, mass balances and energy balances to the analysis and design of chemical reactors involving homogeneous and heterogeneous chemical reactions. Chemical equilibria, kinetic rate equations for homogeneous and heterogeneously catalyzed reactions, design of ideal isothermal reactors, effects of non-isothermal operation, effects of diffusion in porous catalysts and non-ideal mixing in continuous flow reactors. Typically offered Fall Spring.

Learning Outcomes: 1. Apply fundamental material balances to derive the design equations for CSTR, PFR, PBR, and batch reactors. 2. Derive rate expressions from both elementary steps and reaction kinetics data for both homogeneous and heterogeneous reactions. 3. Use material and energy balances with kinetic data for both single and multiple reactions to design and analyze the behavior of isothermal and non-isothermal reactors. 4. Utilize effectiveness factors governing the coupling of reaction and diffusion in the description of heterogeneously catalyzed reactions. 5. Work professionally and ethically in teams to conduct reaction-based laboratory experiments. 6. Effectively report results in written form and practice safety as an integral part of laboratory work. 7. Apply appropriate computational tools for the solution of chemical reaction engineering problems.
