RéacteursEA: Génie des procédés 1 (MRI)

Know and master:

• Essentials on basic concepts and definitions of chemical reactions and reactors;
• Essentials on important concepts in the calculation of chemical reactors;
• The essentials on stoichiometry and material balance in ideal reactors;
• Essentials on polyphase reactors (Association of Ideal Reactors, Two-phase Fluid Reactors, etc.);

The purpose of the module will be to develop skills to optimize the operation of processes used in industry: Be able to identify parameters to improve process performance by improving the associated chemical reaction.
