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
