This course covers a range of topics related to kinetics and reactor design through review problems taken from past exams. The learning outcomes include understanding activation energy, reaction rate constants, conversion in different types of reactors, reaction mechanisms, selectivity, and factors affecting reaction rates. The course teaches skills such as analyzing reaction parameters, determining reaction rate orders, and evaluating reactor performance. The teaching method primarily consists of screencasts with corrected closed captioning. This course is intended for students or professionals studying chemical engineering, specifically those focusing on reaction engineering and reactor design.
