Advanced Chemical Engineering / Reaction Engineering : modelling and simulation
I – Ideal homogeneous reactors
CSTR/ Plug-flow /Batch reactors
Design criteria : conversion rate, yield, selectivity
Competitive and consecutive stoichiometries
II – Temperature effects and heat balances
equilibrated and non-equilibrated reactions : Optimal design and operating conditions
Heat balances
Reactor design
III – Real reactor
Residence time distribution
Modelling and design of real chemical rectors
IV– Heterogeneous catalytic reactors
Modelling and design of heterogeneous catalytic reactors
 

The main targets are :
to acquire basic knowledges on ideal and real reactor for chemical reactions
to relevantly select type of reactor, operating conditions and process architectures
to simulate an entire chemical processes including different unit operations and devices
to improve an existing process.
