CPE360   Reaction Engineering 2   (15 credits)

Description

This module provides in depth analysis of complex reactions and design of realistic reactors. It builds from the reaction engineering-1 module and covers complex reaction kinetics including bimolecular reactions, reversible reactions and autocatalytic reactions etc., multiple reactions, product distribution, multiple reactors, non-ideal reactors, residence time distribution and dispersion model. It also covers the diagnosis and optimisation of the non-ideal reactors. The module further covers the aspects pertaining to solid-fluid reactions such as catalytic reactions, designs of catalytic reactors, and non-catalytic heterogeneous reactors. In addition, the module also covers the bioreactors and fermentation.
