Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2023-2024.

Study of chemical reaction kinetics and principles of reactor design for chemical processes.

When Offered Spring.

Prerequisites/Corequisites Prerequisite: CHEME 3130 and CHEME 3240. Corequisite: CHEME 3320.

Outcomes
  • Develop a sound fundamental (molecular level) understanding of chemical reaction kinetics.
  • Develop practical approaches to modeling complex reactions to obtain a rate equation; (1) identify dominant effects and estimate the consequences of neglecting secondary effects, (2) test assumptions and assess predictions, and (3) perform numerical analysis.
  • Develop the ability to construct from first principles mathematical models to predict system behavior.
  • Develop approaches to optimize reactor design with regard to multiple performance criteria.
