LEARNING OUTCOMES
- analyze the parameters that describe ideal reactors for batch and continuous operation
- analyze parameters describing single-phase and multiphase non-ideal (real) reactors
- formulate mass and energy balances for individual reactor systems (tank reactor,continuous stirred tank reactor and tubular reactor) at batch and continuous operation
- select mathematical methods for estimating the parameters of the reactor model for single phase and multiphase related to the hydrodynamic of the system
- suggest the calculation of the conversion and effectiveness of the given real systems based on analysis of the hydrodynamic conditions
- solve mass and energy balances for individual reactor systems by applying appropriate computer sofware.
