To provide a methodology to choose, analyze, design and operate real chemical reactors with emphasis on hydrodinamics, micromixing, energy balances and complex reactions.
It is expected that students will be able to diagnose the operation of real reactors and design non-isothermal reactors and reactors where multiple reactions occur.
Real Chemical Reactors: hydrodynamics, mass/heat transfer, chemical reaction. Theory of Residence Time Distribution (RTD). Notions of age, life expectancy and residence time. Distributions of age, residence time and intensity function. Tracer methodology. F and C curves of Danckwerts. Relation between RTD and F and C curves. Diagnosis of ill-functioning of reactors. Conversion in real reactors. Total segregation and maximum mixedness. Zwietering equation. Non-ideal flow models: tanks in series and dispersion models. Application of RTD in Chemical Engineering, Pharmacokinetics and environment. Nonisothermal and nonadiabatic reactrs. Energy balances in batch, CSTR and PFR. Adiabatic reactors. Reactor design for complex reactions: yield and selectivity. New concepts and tools to study chemical recators: reverse flow, film contactors, monoliths, CFD and multifunctional reactors. Biological reactors.
Classes intend to provide methodology to choose, analyze, design and operate real chemical reactors with emphasis on hydrodynamics, micromixing, energy balances and complex reactions supported by real problems. Practical sessions aim to teach techniques for solving reactor problems including reactor simulation.

According to the General Evaluation Rules of FEUP
If students already had access to exam in the last year they are not forced to attend classes but evaluation will still consider both the final exam and the mid-term test.
CF= p1* EF+ p2 *T; EF=Final Exam , T=Test
p1=0.75
p2=0.25
p1+p2=100%
Pass criterion: CF >= 9.5 and EF >= 7.0
