Overview

This course covers the details and irreversibilities found in real life chemical reactors due to the nature of design, mass and heat transfer and competing phenomena within the ‘ideal’ vessels. Transport phenomena, kinetics, thermodynamics, computational chemistry and CFD simulation are used to accurately represent the real life environment and flows within real reactors.

By the end of this interactive training programme, you will be able to:

  • Understand reaction kinetics and reaction thermodynamics
  • Understand the concepts of governing steps and multi step reaction schemes
  • Identify types and classifications of chemical reactions and reactors
  • Explain the fluid flows within vessels
  • Understand multi phase, multi component flows
  • Understand the differences of ideal vs real industrial reactors
  • See how simulation helps to design, optimize and troubleshoot industrial reactors
  • Understand catalytic reactors
  • Understand competitive phenomena via dimensionless numbers

FAQs

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development. If you work in certain professions or for certain companies, your employer may require you to complete a number of CPD hours or points, per year. You can find a range of CPD courses on Reed Courses, many of which can be completed online.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
