Chmcl Reactor Design

Analysis of the kinetics of homogeneous and heterogeneous reactions. The influence of transport and non-ideal fluid behavior on kinetics. The influence of in-homogeneity in temperature and mixing. Design parameters for ideal reactors and changes dictated by non-ideality. Prerequisites: courses in physical chemistry, thermodynamics, and differential calculus.

Thermodynamics I

Review of the fundamental laws of thermodynamics. Prediction and correlation of thermodynamic properties of fluids and fluid mixtures. Stability of thermodynamic systems. Phase equilibrium. Chemical reaction equilibrium.

Chem Process Design I

Systematic procedure for the design of chemical processes. Open-ended problems, economic decision making, and profitability analysis. Invention of flow sheets for continuous production of chemicals in fluid phases; emphasis on procedures for rapid estimates of material and energy balances, the use of heuristics to estimate equipment sizes and costs, using initial cost estimates to revise and improve the design, sensitivity, and alternatives.
