Three hours rec. CHE 521 and 531. A variety of problems are assigned that involve solution using Polymath. These involve fitting rate data to obtain slopes for the differential method of analysis, fitting rate law models using linear regression, solving systems of ordinary differential equations for pressure drop in tubular reactors and nonisothermal tubular reactors. Determining means and variances is an integral part of RTD data analysis.
Regression is applied to fitting rate laws.
