Annotation -
The subject is focused on the analysis of behaviour of chemically reacting systems and on the design of chemical reactors. Mathematical models of basic types of chemical reactors including steady-state and unsteady-state mass and heat balances are explained. The students are introduced to methods of evaluation of experimental kinetic data and simulation of chemical reactors.
