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
