Which units require CHEN3010?

CHEN3010 is a prerequisite for 6 units.

What is CHEN3010 about?

This unit covers the theory and practice of reaction equilibrium, reaction kinetics and the interpretation of batch reactor data. Students are introduced to the design of batch and continuous reactors, reactor geometrics, ideal tubular, mixed and staged reactors for single and multiple reactions. They will learn how to interpret laboratory data and use data analytics to deduce rate laws and reaction mechanism. They will investigate thermal and pressure effects, isothermal and non-isothermal homogeneous reactions, and deviations from ideal reactor models. Heterogeneous reaction systems, including solid catalysed reactions, and residence time distributions will be analysed.
