Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years, which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
After the course the student is able to
- describe different phenomena (e.g. reactions and mass transfer) in industrial reactors
- combine rate equations and stoichiometry with balance equations of multiphase reactors
- apply mass and energy balances for different industrial multiphase reactors and perform calculations using the balances
- explain the principles of computational calculations of multiphase reactors
- recognizes the applications of different industrial reactor types
- plan a reactor concept for a given industrially relevant reaction system, including selection and use of the simulation model as well as preliminary dimensioning of an industrial reactor
