This note covers essential topics in chemical
engineering, from thermodynamics and reaction kinetics to reactor design and it
introduces fundamental principles like equilibrium conditions and reaction
feasibility, exploring various reactor types and operational modes, it discusses
equilibrium composition, pressure effects and complex systems involving multiple
reactions and phases. It also addresses notation for rate expressions and
ensures thermodynamic consistency and also examines theories for predicting
rates of elementary reactions.
