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
