| Objetius |
| The purpose of this matter is to present the application of the foundations of the Chemical Reaction Engineering to the design and analysis of the chemical reactors used to industrial scale. The stoichiometry and the mass and energy balances, the thermodynamic relations, the laws that govern the chemical equilibrium and the rate laws of chemical reactions and physical processes will be used. The study will be centred in the isotherm behaviour of reactors and its associations; likewise some non conventional applications of the chemical reactions will be presented. |
