CRE I - Introduction to Rector Design
Solving for Reactors: Reaction Order, Series vs Parallel Arrangement, Dahmkohler Number,
Course Description
This is a comprehensive course designed to equip students with fundamental knowledge and practical skills in designing chemical reactors.
The course begins with an exploration of general mole balance principles, laying a solid foundation for understanding the behavior of chemical reactions within reactors. Students delve into various reactor types, including batch reactors, continuous stirred-tank reactors (CSTRs), and plug flow reactors, examining their respective characteristics and operational principles.
Through in-depth discussions on conversion, sizing, and the effects of design parameters, participants gain insights into optimizing reactor performance and efficiency. Additionally, the course facilitates hands-on learning experiences, enabling students to apply theoretical concepts to real-world scenarios through size comparisons and design simulations.
