Description

Hello, how are you?


My name is Renato and I am a professor of several disciplines in chemical engineering (Chemical Reactors, Transport Phenoma, Thermodynamics, Unit Operations, etc) at two universities in Brazil.


Not always (ok, almost never!) a popular subject in the chemical world, chemical reactors are fundamental parts of the manufacturing industry, so their knowledge, even if basic, is essential and more, it can even be a professional advantage.


The objective of this course is to clarify the vision of students and professionals in the field about the main types of reactors (Batch, Continuous Stirred Tank Reactors (CSTR) and Plug Flow Reactors (PFR)), more specifically regarding the CALCULATION of these reactors (using as bibliography Fogler, H.S. Elements of Chemical Reaction Engineering and Levenspiel, O. Chemical Reaction Engineering). To make it easier to understand, we will work with simple and irreversible reactions so that the particularities of each reactor can be explained without other things scrambling the information in your head.


There are 44 exercises solved and commented, including examples and exercise lists, done step-by-step (including integrals and those "mathemagical" steps).


There are 44 questions. Almost 7 hours of, predominantly, solving exercises.


Dust off your calculator and let's go!

Who this course is for:

  • Students of Chemical Engineering, Industrial Chemistry, Chemistry and Chemical Technicians
  • Professionals in the field of chemistry who want to have a first look at Chemical Reactors
