Understand basic concepts in chemical kinetics; Analyse kinetic data and rate equations
Describe the basic characteristics of ideal batch, mixed flow and plug flow reactors.
Explain the effects of temperature on heats of reaction and yields of multiple reactions; Design non-isothermal reactors graphically
Characterize the effects of non-ideal flows in reactor design
Description
Chemical Kinetics – Definitions of terms. Elementary and non-elementary reactions. Stoichiometry and rate equation. Reaction orders, rate constants and molecularities. Methodologies in reaction mechanism. Temperature dependence of reaction rates. Arrhenius law
Rate Laws- Measurements of reaction rates. Determination of rate laws. Differential and integral analysis. Parallel reactions. Series reactions. Autocatalytic reaction. Pseudo steady-state approximation. Proposal of reaction mechanisms. Enzyme kinetics and the Michaelis–Menten equation; Langmuir-Hinshelwood kinetics.
Basics of Reactor Design – Ideal batch reactor. Steady state mixed flow reactor. Steady state plug flow reactor. Conversion. Space-time and space-velocity. Constant density and variable density systems. Stoichiometric table. Recycle reactor. Performance equations.
Temperature Effects – Heats of reaction and temperature effect. Multiple reactions and temperature effect. General graphical design of non-isothermal reactors. Optimum temperature progression
