Chemical Kinetics and Reactor Design Syllabus for B.Tech Eighth sem is covered here. This gives the details about credits, number of hours and other details along with reference books for the course.
The detailed syllabus for Chemical Kinetics and Reactor Design B.Tech 2016-2017 (R13) eighthsem is as follows
OBJECTIVES: To teach the students to
- Perform material balances to derive general reactor design equations
- Use the appropriate reaction kinetics in the reactor design equations
- Know the modelling of chemical reactors.
UNIT I [9 Hours]
Analysis of Noncatalytic fluid solid reaction: Kinetics of non-catalytic fluid-particle reactions, various models, application to design.
UNIT II [9 Hours]
Catalyst preparation and characterization: Catalysis – Nature of catalyses, methods of evaluation of catalysis, factors affecting the choice of catalysts, promoters, inhibitors, and supports, catalyst specifications, preparation and characterization of catalysts, surface area measurement by BET method, pore size distribution, catalyst, poison, mechanism and kinetics of catalyst, deactivation.
UNIT III [9 Hours]
Physical adsorption and chemical adsorption: Fluid-fluid reactions different regimes, identification reaction regime, application to design. Physical absorption with chemical reaction, simultaneous absorption of two reacting cases consecutive reversible reactions between gas and liquid, irreversible reactions, estimation of effective interfacial area in absorption equipment.
TOTAL : 45 PERIODS
OUTCOME:
Students would be able to discern reaction kinetics by analyzing data from a variety of reactor types.
