Last update: Čapek Pavel doc. Ing. CSc. (14.02.2018)
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.
Aim of the course -
Last update: Čapek Pavel doc. Ing. CSc. (14.02.2018)

Students will be able to:

1. Develop mass and energy balances of reacting systems.

2. Describe the behaviour of chemical reactors on the basis of mathematical models.

3. Interpret the static and dynamic behaviour of chemical reactors on the basis of numerical solution of mathematical models.

4. Interpret the experimental kinetic data on the basis of kinetic models.
