A lecture and problem-based course on chemical kinetics, chemical reactor design, and the interrelationship between transport, thermodynamics, and chemical reaction in open and closed systems. Students will construct models and employ mathematical tools to design reactors for a wide variety of chemical reaction systems.

A lecture and problem course dealing with interpretation of rate data and development of performance equations for single and multiple reactor systems. A design problem will be selected for an industrially important chemical reaction system requiring computer solution.
