CBE 110 - Reaction Kinetics and Reactor Design

Course Overview

Introduction to quantitative analysis of chemical reactions and chemical reactor design. Reactor operations including batch, continuous stirred tank, and tubular reactor. Homogeneous and heterogeneous reactions.

Course Tips

Refresh your knowledge on rate expressions, stoichiometry, and material balances. Know the difference between batch, CSTR, and PFR/PBR. 

Study Strategies

Practice identifying the assumptions before writing any equations. Draw out the process and practice by redoing homework problems and in-class examples. 

Other Advice

Purchase a physical copy of the textbook. Don't memorize reactor equations.
