Reactor Design and modeling: a free course

One of the primary tasks in designing a new process is the selection and preliminary design of the reactor. This course covers the main issues to be examined in that task and provides models for reaction systems that consist of a single fluid phase. In most cases, a solid catalyst is also present. The model files are provided in both Mathcad 15 and PDF formats. 

This page serves as the course menu. The buttons below either load a PDF file or jump to other course pages, where additional buttons provide access to the course text and Mathcad files.
