Prerequisite/Recommended prerequisite for participation in the module

The module is based on knowledge achieved in Thermal and fluid dynamic systems or similar.

Content, progress and pedagogy of the module

Learning objectives

Knowledge

• Be able to understand components and system configurations used in electrochemical and chemical conversion processes
• Understand the terminologies and notations used in fundamental electrochemical and chemical reactor analysis
• Have knowledge about applications of mass transfer used in relation to electrochemical and chemical reactors as well as processing systems
• Have knowledge about dynamic modelling of process systems

Skills

• Be able to design and model the fundamental classes of chemical reactors with one or multiple simultaneous reactions including heat transfer in steady and unsteady operation
• Be able to calculate chemical compositions arising from kinetically controlled electrochemical and chemical reactions
• Be able to calculate mass convection and diffusion and perform analysis on processes involving combined heat and mass transfer as well as mass transfer in porous materials and multicomponent mixtures
• Be able to develop fundamental dynamic models of the used components and overall process systems

Competences

• Have the ability to apply and integrate the topics in an interdisciplinary correspondence with other related disciplines
• Be able to understand the assumptions of the fundamental design chemical reactors and combined heat and mass transfer

Type of instruction

Lectures supplied with independent studies and possibly guest lectures.
