This unit covers detailed discussion of advanced reactor designs as are employed on process plants. It considers fluidised beds in detail (e.g. as used for waste combustion) as well as covering bioreactors (sewage farms is discussed). It also considers various aspects of catalysis, including effectiveness factors, catalyst deactivation and catalyst characterisation, as well as corrosion engineering in the context of undesirable reactions on a chemical processing plant. <br/><br/>Reaction engineering is what ultimately differentiates chemical engineering from other engineering disciplines. Here it cements skills in reaction design, looks at more detailed reactor designs involving complex... -- Course Website
