Learning outcomes
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.

Methods:

  • Final written exam
Teaching methods

Delivery: face to face

Learning activities:

  • attending lectures

Attendance: Advised

Teaching methods:

  • Lectures
  • Task-based learning/problem-based learning/inquiry-based learning
Syllabus
