05-MCM-2-W5C Introduction to Technical Chemistry

The module will cover the following topics:
- chemical reactions: thermodynamics
- yields and reactor design: continuous and discontinuous reactor types, industrial reactors, estimation of costs
- macro kinetics: ideal and real reactors, residence time spectrum, dispersion model

After attending the module, the participants shall...
- be able to differentiate between several reactor types used in the lab and in industry
- predict the residence time spectrum of different reactor types
- estimate when a special reactor type is better suited than another one

The module will be taught in German.
