Chemical Reaction Engineering is the field that
studies the rates and mechanisms of chemical reactions and the design of the
reactors in which they take place. This page contains lecture notes from a
typical Chemical Reaction Engineering class. The lectures are categorized into 3
different filetypes: Animated, Plain, and PDF. The topics explained are as
follows : Mole Balances, Conversion and Reactor Sizing, Rate Laws, Stoichiometry
- Liquid systems, Stoichiometry - Gas systems, CRE Algorithm, California Exam
Problems, Pressure Drop, Membrane Reactors, Semibatch, Analysis of Rate, Series
Reactions, Complex Reactions, Non-elementary Rate Laws, Bioreactors, Biogrowth,
Steps in a Catalytic Reaction, Reaction Mechanism - Chemical Vapor Deposition,
Energy Balance, Adiabatic Reactors, Adiabatic CSTR, Heat Exchange in a PFR,
Reversible Reactions, Reversible Gas Phase Reaction with Heat Effects, Reactor
Staging, Multiple Steady States, Multiple Reactions with Heat Effects, Unsteady
State Energy Balance, Multiple Steady States, Safety in Chemical Reactors, Mass
Transfer limitations, Diffusion and Reaction, Distribution of Residence Time,
Models for Nonideal Reactors, Predicting Conversion.
