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

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
