2. LEARNING OUTCOMES
Learning Outcomes | |
At the conclusion of the course, the students will have obtained the following, knowledge, skills and competencies: - Present in detail the basic principles of non ideal reactors. - Categorise non ideal reactors and present with an in depth analysis the differences in their operation. - Present the basic principles of operation of non ideal reactors and their application in heterogeneous processes. - Assess the effect of mass transport phenomena on the operation of heterogeneous reactors. - Explain the contribution of heterogeneous processes in the chemical industry, in the treatment of pollutants, in the improvement of traditional fuels as well as the development of sustainable fuels and processes compliant with the environment. | |
