Learning unit contents
The course introduces the fundamental concepts necessary for the performance prediction and for the design of homogeneous chemical reactors.
Globally, the course covers the following aspects:
- Classification and methodology for the analysis of chemical reactors.
- Analysis and synthesis of the functioning of the ideal homogeneous chemical reactors.
- Case of a single or several reactions. Sizing and selectivity problems.
- Analysis of the multiplicity and of the stability of the stationary states.
- Analysis and synthesis of the functioning of the non isothermal ideal homogeneous chemical reactors.
- Case of a single or several reactions in isothermal or not isothermal regime. Sizing and selectivity problems.
- Analysis of the multiplicity and of the stability of the stationary states.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
At the end of the course, the students will be able to
- understand and exploit the theoretical concepts and the methodology which constitute the foundation of chemical reactor design
- use this methodology to design and to size an industrial scale reactor for a given production on the basis of kinetic and thermodynamics data obtained at the scale
This course contributes to the learning outcomes I.1, I.2, II.1, II.2, II.3, III.2, III.3, III.4, IV.1, IV.2, VI.1, VI.2 of the MSc in biomedical engineering.
