Content | Part 01: Polyphase reactors Chapter 1: Two-phase fluid-fluid reactors Effect of the chemical reaction on matter transfer (Two-film theory; Pseudo-first-order reaction-Hatta number (Ha); Rapid reaction regime-Acceleration factor E; Instantaneous reaction regime-Diagram E as a function of Ha.); Calculations of two-phase reactors (batch reactors, piston reactors, perfectly stirred continuous reactors). Chapter 2: Catalytic fluid-solid reactors Intra-particle diffusion (Thièle number; Efficiency), Efficiency and external material transfer (Effect of catalyst grain diameter; External material transfer), Influence of internal diffusion on the reaction (Weisz-Prater criterion); Influence of external material transfer on the reaction (Mears criterion), Fixed bed reactors; Fluidised bed reactors. Part 02: Bioreactors I- Introduction Review of the basic knowledge of microbiology, biochemistry and molecular biology required to calculate bioreactors. II- Modelling reaction rates in biological systems Microbial kinetics: Monod model, Enzyme kinetics, Inhibition of enzymatic reactions III- Design and analysis of bioreactors Types of bioreactors, Basic concepts, Batch bioreactors, Continuous stirred tanks, Piston bioreactors, Comparison of batch and continuous bioreactors IV- Matter transfer in bioreactors Aeration: gas-liquid matter transfer, Agitation: matter transfer by forced convection |
