Course Overview

This course covers the details and irreversibilities found in real-life chemical reactors due to the nature of design, mass and heat transfer and competing phenomena within the ‘ideal’ vessels. Transport phenomena, kinetics, thermodynamics, computational chemistry and CFD simulation are used to accurately represent the real-life environment and flows within real reactors.

Objective:

By the end of this interactive training programme, you will be able to:

Understand reaction kinetics and reaction thermodynamics
Understand the concepts of governing steps and multi-step reaction schemes
Identify types and classifications of chemical reactions and reactors
Explain the fluid flows within vessels
Understand multi-phase, multi component flows
Understand the differences between ideal vs real industrial reactors
See how simulation helps to design, optimize and troubleshoot industrial reactors
Understand catalytic reactors
Understand competitive phenomena via dimensionless numbers
