Knowledge
Students are expected to acquire:
knowledge of homogeneous and heterogeneous (catalytic) reactions fundamentals;
knowledge of reactor design principles;
understanding of thermal effects in homogeneous and heterogeneous (catalytic) reactions.
Assessment criteria of knowledge
The two modules (Part I and Part II) have separate written exams. In each exam, students are required to solve 3-4 exercises, which cover the module program. In most exercises, a numerical solution is also required although some exercises may be on the theoretical side.
