Abstract:
In the first of a series on kinetics and reactor design, this 1.5 hr workshop lays the foundation of chemical kinetics. In line with the content on the PE exam for Chem E’s, we’ll look at the basics of reactions, rate constants, and liquid reactions. We’ll then look at kinetics of bioreactions, reactions on supported catalysts, polymer reactions, and possibly the pharmacokinetic reactions of biotransmitters and blocker drugs with their bioreceptors. In an active learning workshop, you’ll listen for a bit and then with a partner apply what you’ve heard.
Next fall workshops will be offered applying kinetics to simple liquid reactor design, and to bioreactor/fermenter design.
