Objectives
KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING:
MASS AND ENERGY BALANCES IN IDEAL REACTORS. KINETICS OF CHEMICAL REACTIONS FOR SIMPLE AND COMPLEX REACTIONS, AND DETERMINATION OF THE REACTION ORDER. DESIGN AND/OR VERIFICATION FOR IDEAL CHEMICAL REACTORS, BATCH AND CONTINUOUS (CSTR AND PFR) ISOTHERMAL, AND NON ISOTHERMAL, FOR SIMPLE REACTIONS. MULTIPLE REACTORS SYSTEMS AND RICYCLE REACTORS.

APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING – ENGINEERING ANALYSIS
INTERPRETATION OF EXPERIMENTAL DATA TO DETERMINE THE KINETICS AND THE ORDER OF A REACTION. VERIFY OF AN IDEAL REACTOR. IDENTIFICATION OF PROCESSES TO DESIGN AN IDEAL REACTOR.

APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING – ENGINEERING DESIGN
DESIGN OF AN IDEAL REACTOR.

MAKING JUDGMENTS - ENGINEERING PRACTICE:
ABILITY TO UNDERSTAND THE DATA FOR THE CHOICE OF AN IDEAL REACTOR, EVEN IF ENZYMATIC REACTIONS TAKE PLACE

COMMUNICATION SKILLS – TRANSVERSAL SKILLS:
TO BE ABLE TO TEAM WORK AND TO ORALLY DISCUSS A TOPIC FROM THE COURSE

LEARNING SKILLS – TRANSVERSAL SKILLS:
THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO USE THE AQUIRED KNOWLEDGE, EVEN TO CONTEXTS DIFFERENT FROM THOSE PRESENTED WITHIN THE COURSE, AND TO STUDY THE TOPICS EVEN BEYOND THE SITUATIONS PRESENTED DURING THE COURSE.

Teaching Methods
THE COURSE CONSISTS IN FRONT LESSONS (32 H) AND CLASSROOM EXERCISES (28 H) WITH APPLICATION TO THE SOLUTION OF REAL LIFE PROBLEMS.
Verification of learning
THE EVALUATION WILL BE CARRIED OUT BY A WRITTEN TEXT AND A COLLOQUIUM. THE MINIMUM LEVEL OF KNOWLEDGE WILL BE ACHIEVED IF THE STUDENT WILL BE FOUND ABLE TO SELECT CORRECT TOOLS TO BE USED TO SOLVE THE PROPOSED PROBLEM, TO WRITE CORRECT MODEL EQUATIONS AND TO DESCRIBE SOLUTION PATHS. THE EXCELLENCE LEVEL WILL BE ACHIEVED WHEN THE STUDENT WILL BE FOUND ABLE TO FACE OUT AND SOLVE ASPECTS OF THE PROBLEMS NOT EXPLICITLY DESCRIBED DURING THE LECTURES. THE EVALUATION WILL BE RELATED TO THE GRADE OF CONFIDENCE SHOWN BY THE STUDENT WITH THE COURSE ISSUES AND WITH THE METHODOLOGICAL TOOLS DESCRIBED WITHIN THE COURSE.
LECTURES ARE PROVIDED IN CLASSES IN THE PRESENCE OF STUDENTS.
ATTENDANCE AT THE LECTURES IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED
