    The goalObjective is to introduce students to analysis and application of different types of multiphase reactors applied in industrail processes. The analysis of heat and mass transfer effects in reactors for reaction with heterogeneous catalyst, for systems with catalysts and reactants in different phases.
    The outcomeAcquiring knowledge which enables students to perform detailed analysis of industrial multiphase reactors and also to calculate their efficiency.
    Contents
    Contents of lecturesDesign and calculation of stirred/agitated reactors and selection of impeller type (power requirements, empirical equations to calculate power requirements, power requirements for heterogeneous fluids); Fixed bed reactrors (two phase systems, fluid flow in two phase systems, fluid-particle interactions, pressure drop); Trickle-bed reactors (three phase systems, pressure drop, liquid hold-up, axial dispersion, examples of reactions, intensification of trickle-bed reactors); Microreactors
    Contents of exercisesExamples of different types of industrial reactors (styrene polymerization, ammonia synthesis, hydrotreating of different petroleum fractions, hydrocracking, steam reforming, catalytic reforming, ethane cracking to produce ethylene, sulphur dioxide oxidation, hydrogenation of cotton seed oil in batch reactor)
