Aims:

To provide an understanding of advanced reactor design and the principles and phenomena that are present in multiphase and catalytic reactions.

Learning Outcomes:

Upon completion of this module student should be able to:

design advanced chemical reactors;
	evaluate the influence of mass transfer and hydrodynamics on reactor performance;
	apply advanced concepts for the design of chemical reactors;
	combine analytical and computational approaches for reactors design;
	critically evaluate what phenomena and under what circumstances need to be considered as related to the level of accuracy required for a specific design problem;
	gain experience on the operation and data analysis form laboratory chemical reactors;
