On completion of this module students should be able to
1. Develop rate expressions for constant density and variable density isothermal and non-isothermal reacting homogenous systems.
2. Apply steady state and unsteady state material and energy balances to homogenous, single and multiple reaction systems.
3. Design batch, semi-batch and continuous homogenous, isothermal reactions.
4. Apply concept of the use of residence time distributions in reaction engineering and to incorporate the effects of mixing on the design of real reactors using appropriate model reactor systems.
5. Identify the significant Safety, Health and Environment implications of certain types of reactions and reactor systems.
6. Solve complex reaction engineering problems using Excel and Matlab and to prepare technical reports describing the solutions to selected problems.

• Feedback individually to students, post-assessment
• Group/class feedback, post-assessment
• Peer review activities
• Self-assessment activities
Example problems with provided answer sets will provide significant scope for self assessment, in addition to similar problem and solution sets for past exam questions. Feedback on video assignments will be based on peer review activities of videos assignments and individual feedback post-assessment in the form of a grade provided for completion of video assignments. Final exam grades will be provided for post-assessment of terminal exam performance.
