CRE Asynchronous Learning

After completing Unit 2 of the text and the associated website material, the reader will be able to:

• Define conversion and space time
• Write the mole balance in terms of conversion for a batch rector, CSTR, PFR, and PBR
• Size reactors either alone or in series once given the rate of reaction, $-r_A$, as a function of conversion, $X$
• Write relationships between the relative rates of reaction

Text: Chapter 2, pages 35-74
