XWT-33304 Chemical Reactor Design in Water Technology

Course

Credits 4.00

Language of instruction:

English

Contents:

The course teaches you how to set up mass and energy balances for reactors applied in water technology, taking into account simultaneous conversion and transport processes.
The following aspects are treated:
- kinetics of transport processes, including convection and diffusion or conduction, either in one phase or across phase boundaries;
- different modes of reactor operation, viz. continuous, batch and fed-batch systems;
- stirred tank fermenters, bubble columns, solid-state fermenters, and other types.

Learning outcomes:

At the end of the course, you should be able to set up and use mathematical models for general reactor design.

Activities:

Limited number of lectures (C) and guided exercises and case studies (PE).

Examination:

Written exam.

Literature:

Not available.
