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. REACTORS WITH ENZYMATIC REACTIONS, WITH AND WITHOUT INIBITION.

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 AND CLASSROOM EXERCISES WITH APPLICATION TO THE SOLUTION OF REAL LIFE PROBLEMS.
Verification of learning
THE ASSESSMENT OF THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE OBJECTIVES SET WILL BE MADE BY A WRITTEN TEST AND AN ORAL INTERVIEW. THE LEVEL OF SUFFICIENCY CORRESPONDS TO THE DEMONSTRATION OF THE ABILITY TO IDENTIFY METHODOLOGICAL TOOLS TO BE USED, TO CORRECTLY SET THE BALANCE EQUATIONS AND TO INDICATE VIABLE WAYS OF SOLVING THE PROBLEM. THE LEVEL OF EXCELLENCE SHALL BE ACHIEVED WHEN THE STUDENT IS ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY ADDRESS ASPECTS OF THE PROBLEMS NOT EXPLICITLY DEALT WITH IN CLASS.
Texts
