Chemical Reaction Engineering Course

This document outlines the objectives, outcomes, modules, textbooks, and experiments for the CHE2001 Chemical Reaction Engineering course. The course aims to impart knowledge of calculus, thermodynamics, and material balances to solve reactor design problems. It will simulate various reactor types to choose the appropriate design. Students will analyze batch reactor data, design ideal reactors, and evaluate selectivity, reactivity, and yield for single and multiple reactions. The course consists of 8 modules covering topics like kinetics, isothermal reactor design, non-isothermal reactors, and contemporary issues. It includes 30 hours of laboratory experiments like analysis of batch, plug flow, and mixed flow reactors.
