Homogeneous and heterogeneous catalyzed and non-catalyzed reaction kinetics for flow and batch chemical reactors. Application of kinetic data to both isothermal and nonisothermal reactor design. This course is intended for both chemists and chemical engineers. 3 credit hours. The fundamentals of diffusion and mass transfer in solids, liquids and gases applied to the analysis and design of process operations.
Emphasis is placed on the design of industrially important equipment.
3 credit hours. Application of transport phenomena principles to systems involving momentum, heat and mass transfer with emphasis on equipment design. Topics include design of staged separation equipment for distillation, extraction and leaching, membrane systems, crystallization and others of current interest. Laboratory work includes experiments in mass transfer, reactor systems, computer simulation, oral and written reports. 4 credit hours.
