Advanced reaction engineering

What it covers

The unit will develop a higher level understanding of reaction kinetics, catalysis and reactor design, including: • isothermal and non-isothermal reactor design - steady and unsteady states • runaway reactions, reactor safety and reactive hazards • heterogeneous catalysis, photocatalysis and biocatalysis • diffusion effects in catalytic reactions • residence time distribution • non-ideal reactor design and operation • density functional theory in catalysis • reactor design strategy for different industries including CO2 utilization • advanced reactor concepts for graphene production • use of metal organic frameworks in energy applications including catalysis • use of Gold as catalyst

Assessment

Hurdle tasks must be passed regardless of your overall mark.
