Course Description
This course provides an introduction to reactor design and an awareness of practical applications in real systems. It aims to establish basic tools and methodologies for carrying out analysis of simple reaction systems.
Objectives/Learning Outcomes/Capability Development
This course contributes to the following Program Learning Outcomes for BH079 Bachelor of Engineering (Chemical Engineering) (Honours) and associated double degrees.
1.1. Comprehensive, theory based understanding of the underpinning natural and physical sciences and the engineering fundamentals applicable to the engineering discipline.
1.2. Conceptual understanding of the, mathematics, numerical analysis, statistics, and computer and information sciences which underpin the engineering discipline
On completion of this course, you should be able to:
- Explain and apply basic equations for batch and steady state continuous reactors;
- Evaluate and simulate a number of homogeneous systems using continuously stirred tank reactor (CSTR), plug flow reactor (PFR) and packed bed reactor (PBR) models;
- Derive simple kinetic models for biochemical and catalytic reaction processes.
Overview of Learning Activities
You will participate in pre-recorded lecture videos/tutorials (or lectorial) and laboratory sessions. You will work individually with the opportunity to work collaboratively with your peers in tutorials, to perform assignments and in laboratory sessions. The course is supported by the Canvas learning management system.
Details of Learning Activities
This course will be delivered on-campus. Students are required to view all pre-recorded lecture videos at their own time prior to joining the tutorial sessions. Face-to-face lectorial sessions will be available to students. Students will work individually on written assessment tasks and be given the opportunity to work collaboratively with peers in tutorial problems and an assignment related to Reaction Engineering Laboratory. The course is supported by the Canvas learning management system.
Overview of Learning Resources
You will be provided access to lecture notes, tutorials (plus solutions), and lecture videos.
