Student Quotes
“Useful to experience a system that is close to reality than ideal systems studied in lectures”
“More hands on. I had control of a real experiment and was able to see the responses to adjustments I made, in real time”
“Good to obtain and analyze real data, not just theoretical exercises”

Assignment• Determine reaction constants etc based on supplied batch
data• Use these to estimate reaction time needed for desired
conversion based on ideal reactor model• Derive equations for non-ideal reactor model• Perform residence time experiment to estimate level of
non-ideality for the experimental setup• Use this data and derived equations to estimate reaction
time needed for desired conversion for the setup• Perform kinetics experiment based on ideal and non-ideal
reaction time and compare to what was predicted using the ideal/non-ideal model
