CL 605 Advance Reaction Engineering

Homogeneous reactor design and analysis-I: Ideal reactors, Review of isothermal design for batch, semi-batch and flow reactors, Multiple reactions and reaction networks: Yield-selectivity concepts, Wei-Prater analysis for first order networks, reaction networks of general order, Reactor energy balance and its applications to reactor design and analysis. Homogeneous reactor design and analysis-II: Non-ideal reactors- Review of the basic concepts of residence time distributions, single parameter models for real reactor behavior, Macromixing and micromixing, segregated flow model and Zweitering`s analysis of maximum mixedness, IEM and other models for micromixing. Heterogeneous reactors-I: Gas-solid systems- Review of kinetics of gas-solid catalytic reactions with and without diffusion limitations, Reactor design for fixed and fluidized bed reactors, Selected case studies, Non-catalytic gas-solid reactions: review of kinetics; reactor design case studies. Heterogeneous reactors-II: Gas-liquid systems- Basic theories of mass transfer with chemical reaction model systems and model reactors, Reactor design for mechanically agitated and bubble column reactors. Selected case studies.
