Category CoreRationale for the inclusion of the course in the programme
The course will enable the students to acquire the knowledge of reaction kinetics basic concept, derivation of rate expressions from reaction mechanisms and equilibrium or steady state assumptions, isothermal and non-isothermal, ideal and non-ideal, adiabatic and non-adiabatic of batch and flow reactors. At the end of this course, students will be able to design reactors for heterogeneous reactions and optimise operating conditions.
Credit hour 4Pre-requisite Mass Transfer, Heat Transfer, Fluid mechanics, Surface Chemistry & CatalysisSynopsis The basic concepts of chemical rate processes are applied to the theory of the
design and operation of the various types of commercial reactors for both catalytic reactions. Topics covered include mole balances, rate laws and stoichiometry, collection and analysis of rate data, multiple reactors and reactions, isothermal and non-isothermal, ideal and non-ideal reactor design, catalysis and catalytic reactors in details.

Lab experimentations Lab reports 10The course has four assessment components as described above.Test: The test will usually have 3 to 4 questions of 1½ hour duration.Mid-term exam: it will be conducted on week 7-8 of the semester. .Laboratory component: it is compulsory to attend all the lab sessions; failing to do so may result in complete failure in the subject. The student will carry out the experiments described below and submit a report to the lab tutor at the end of the semester.Final Exam: It will consist of 6 main questions. Students must answer 5 of the 6 questions. The duration of the exam will be 3 hours.
