Handbook

This elective course builds on students' core knowledge of reaction engineering and is designed to give an advanced insight into the design, optimisation and operation of reaction vessels used in chemical, biological, as well as material processing industries. 

Topics covered include the analysis of complex industrial reaction kinetics, effect of micromixing on reactive systems, non-isothermal reactor design, nonlinear analysis in reaction systems, catalytic processes, multiphase (gas-liquid-solid) reactors for single and multiple reactions, strategies for reactor optimisation and case studies in industrial process reactor design and operation. 

This elective course is geared towards senior undergraduate students with interests in the design and optimisation of reaction vessels and the underlying theoretical concepts. The course is also suitable for Master and PhD research students with interests in chemical, environmental and biological reaction engineering.
