Aims of the course
The Chemical Reaction Engineering provides
the knowledge and calculation skills of the
homogeneous reactors based on two models:
mixing and plug flow.
Base on the knowledge gained from this subject,
students can do the experiments (resident time
population), process and equipment design
project and student apprentice.


Outcomes
At the end of the course you should be able to:
ă Student can interpret the chemical kinetics data.
ă Student can calculate and optimal design
chemical reactors apply for every reaction.

Emails
In addition to the E - learning web site, e-mail will be used to
advise the class of new notices and updates of course
information and materials. Please check your university e-mail
accounts regularly.
You are welcome to use e-mail to communicate with me if you
have a straightforward question that requires only a short
answer on my part and I will respond as soon as practicable.
However, please do not use e-mail for questions that are likely
to require a long and complicated answer. Such questions are
better dealt with in a face-to-face meeting, which will also

provide better learning outcomes. If you do communicate with
me or any other member of staff by e-mail, please remember
that it is a formal, archival document similar to a formal letter,
not an SMS text message.

E-mails sent to me that do not have a formal
opening and closing will be ignored.


Mobile Phones
As a simple courtesy to others all
mobile phones MUST be turned off
before entering the lecture theatre
and tutorial class.


Study Commitments
In order to pass this subject to the best of
your abilities you must attend all lectures,
complete all tutorial sheets and spend on
average 6 to 8 hours per week in private
study. This time would be spent in
reviewing lectures, doing the tutorial
sheets and additional problems and
studying for the exam. The 6 to 8 hours
per week should commence in the first
week of semester.
