Learning outcomes
This module has the following learning outcomes:
You apply the concepts of reaction order and reaction rate constant to arrive at a mathematical description of the reaction rates of reactions with different reaction orders in the interval [0 - 2].
You apply the mathematical description of the concepts of reaction selectivity and yield to arrive at numerical values.
You establish for the three model reactors a mathematical model for the conversion of a reactant for reactions with reaction orders in the interval [0-2] and you solve them numerically.
You determine the kinetics of a reaction (order and reaction rate constant) based on experiments in a batch reactor.
You perform engineering from a CSTR based on kinetics measured in a batch reactor.

Content
The aim of the module is competence development on the kinetics of reactions and its effect on the design of the three model reactors: batch, CSTR and plugflow. The module is part of the Reactor Science Curriculum. This module is the foundation required for successful completion of the Reactor Science 2 module in the third year of study.
