Content
1. Introduction: elementary chemical engineering, chemical reactors classification
2. Kinetic models applications to the conception of ideal chemical reactors: "batch", tubular reactors in the plug flow regime, perfectly stirred reactors in isothermal conditions; influence of the type of reactor on the products selectivity in complex reactions.
3. Heterogeneous catalysis and catalytic reactors: chemical kinetics of heterogeneous catalytic reactions, kinetic at the catalytic pellet level.
4. Non ideal reactors: causes of the non-ideality, experimental approach of the time distribution, model of the tubular reactor with axial diffusion.
5. Experimental techniques: chromatography, mass spectrometry, spectroscopy, fluorescence, photolysis, shock tubes, flow tubes.
6. Thermodynamic and kinetic approaches of complex systems of dedicated examples: reactions in the atmosphere and in flames, autocatalysis, inhibition, estimate of thermodynamic data and kinetic parameters,..
