This course covers the kinetics of heterogeneous reactions, catalysis and catalytic reactors, external transport processes in heterogeneous reactions, and internal transport processes in porous catalysts. Reactor types include packed- bed, fluidized-bed, trickle-bed and slurry reactors. The theory and design fundamentals of two-phase and three-phase catalytic reactors, and kinetics, models and design of fluid-particle non-catalytic reactors will be studied. PREREQ: ENGR 3436. (lec 3, tut 1.5, lab 1) cr 3. Students may not retain credit for both ENGR 4447 and ENGR 3447.
