UNIT-I: Basics of non-ideal flow: E, the age distribution of fluid, the RTD, conversion in non-ideal flow reactors, diagonizing reactors ills (qualitative discussion only).
UNIT-II: The dispersion model– axial dispersion, correlations for axial dispersion, Petrochemical reaction and dispersion. The tanks in series model- pulse response experiments and the RTD, Petrochemical conversion. The convection model for laminar flow- the convective model and its RTD, Petrochemical conversion in laminar flow reactors.
UNIT-III: Earliness of mixing, segregation and RTD- self-mixing of a single fluid, mixing of two miscible fluids. Catalysis and catalytic reactors- catalysts, steps in a catalytic reactions, synthesizing a rate law, mechanism and rate limiting step. (From chapter 6 Fogler).
