Chemical reaction engineering

 7.5 ECTS credits
Instruction is in the form of lectures, exercises, and computer sessions.

The course comprises the following components:
Basic kinetics: speed expressions, speed constants, and temperature dependence. Connection between kinetics and balance. Analysis of batch reactors to determine reaction kinetics.
Integral balances: Process chart overview. Materials and energy flows.
Ideal reactors: Tank and tube reactor. Multi reaction systems. Parallel and serial connection of reactors.
Non-isothermal reactors: Tank reactor stability. Adiabatic tube reactor. Adiabatic equilibrium reactions.
Non-ideal reactors: Residence interval distribution. Characterisation of flow images.

Progressive specialisation: G2F (has at least 60 credits in first鈥恈ycle course/s as entry requirements)
Education level: Undergraduate level
Admission requirements
At least 60 ECTS credits completed in the Master Programme in Chemical Engineering and admitted to Chemical Calculations (7.5 ECTS credits), or equivalent
Selection:

Selection is usually based on your grade point average from upper secondary school or the number of credit points from previous university studies, or both.
