To provide methodological tools to choose, analyze, design and operate real chemical reactors with emphasis on hydrodinamics, micromixing (residence time distribution theory), energy balances and complex reactions.
It is expected that students will be able to diagnose the operation of real reactors, and to design non-isothermal reactors and reactors where multiple reactions occur.
Reactor design for complex reactions: yield and selectivity. Nonisothermal and nonadiabatic reactrs. Energy balances in batch, CSTR and PFR. Adiabatic reactors. Strategies for reactors association. New concepts and tools to study chemical recators: reverse flow, film contactors, monoliths, CFD and multifunctional reactors and/or biological reactors.
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, of 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 the RTD in Chemical Engineering, pharmacokinetics and environment.
Lectures with emphasis on acquiring knowledge and skills on topics related to the study of chemical reactors and supported by concrete problems, including reactors simulation.

Those defined in FEUP's specific student evaluation regulations. Attendance in classes is mandatory, except for students who have obtained attendance in one of the previous academic years.
FINAL MARK = (0.5 test 1 + 0.5 test 2) or final exam.
Test 1 will focus on topics of 1) reactor design for complex reactions and 2) non-isothermal chemical reactors; test 2 will focus on topics of 3) real chemical reactors (theory of residence time distribution).
It is up to the students, including those who already have frequency, to take the tests or final exam (which will focus on all topics).
NOTE: After the results of test 1 are known, students can choose to take test 2 or the exam (which will take place on the same date, during the normal exam period - 1st call); at the time of appeal (recurso) there is no such possibility.

The final exam lasts 1.5 hours without consultation (closed book) - as determined by FEUP as a consequence of COVID-19 outbreak.
