Alicante, Spain
Dates: 9/4/25 - 12/20/25
Reactor Design I
OVERVIEW
CEA CAPA Partner Institution: University of Alicante
Location: Alicante, Spain
Primary Subject Area: Chemical Engineering
Instruction in: English
Transcript Source: Partner Institution
Course Details: Level 300
Recommended Semester Credits: 3
Contact Hours: 60
Prerequisites: This subject is taught in the third grade, so students should come after acquiring the previous basics and having developed the skills to handle with ease calculation tools for problem solving, report writing, literature search and, where appropriate, to communicate in English.
DESCRIPTION
This is a compulsory subject that is taught in the 5th semester of the Chemical Engineering Degree after students have studied certain subjects in which they must have acquired the basic knowledge required to address this subject, which are:
- Macroscopic mass and energy balances on reactive systems
- Introduction to the thermodynamics and kinetics of chemical reactions
- Numerical solutions of integral and differential equations systems
- Use of software for numerical computation (Matlab and Excel or similar)
The training of students is conducted through lectures, computer lessons and group tutorials. In addition, training will be expanded and enhanced in the subjects Reactor Design II and Experimentation in Chemical Engineering II.
IMPORTANT: The course is offered in both English and Spanish in all its activities (lectures, group tutorials and computer lessons). The students will choose which language group they want to attend but in any case, the restrictions may be based on the number of students in each group.
Course will consist of 60hrs of in class work and 90 hrs of independent work outside the classroom.
Course includes computer practicals.
