This course covers deriving mechanisms, diffusion and reaction, bioreactions, and polymerization in the context of kinetics and reactor design. Students will learn about chain growth polymerization, chain reaction mechanisms, steady-state approximation, diffusion and bulk flow for catalytic reactions, enzyme mechanisms, Michaelis-Menten kinetics, and polymerization in a CSTR. The teaching method includes screencasts with corrected closed captioning. This course is intended for learners interested in chemical engineering, kinetics, and reactor design.
