| Leerdoelen |
At the end of the course, the student is able to:- Perform mass balance calculations for single-phase model reactors in case of single or multiple reactions in order to determine conversion levels as well as other reactor design parameters such as selectivity, yield and reactor size.
- Determine the rate law for a chemical reaction from the experimental data in single-phase model reactors.
- Perform energy balance calculations for single-phase model reactors in order to determine conversion levels as well as other reactor design parameters such as reactor temperature and heat exchange arrangement.
- Apply software tools to model isothermal or non-isothermal single-phase model reactors in order to design, evaluate or improve the reactor design.
- Develop their critical thinking skills.
- Apply aforementioned calculations for industrial applications

| Omschrijving |
Dedicated to the degree program IEM, this course unit connects industrial application of continuous processes with fundamentals of chemical engineering.
The following subjects will be covered:- Classification of chemical reactors.
- Introduction to single-phase model reactors, calculation of conversion levels in single-phase model reactors by applying mass balance.
- Tools for the selection and optimization of single-phase mode reactors in case of multiple reactions.
- Energy balance to describe non-isothermal single-phase model reactors.
- Software tools for modelling single-phase model reactors.
