The students are anticipated to learn the basic principles of reaction kinetics and reactor design. It is also intended to cultivate the understanding of some of the various problems that are encountered in real reactor design. At the end of the course, the pupils should be able to understand and analyze kinetic data. Relationship of Course to Programme Objectives The course intends to introduce students to the knowledge of Chemical Reaction Engineering and it’s importance in process design and chemical industry. Also, it should guide students toward understanding the fundamentals of Chemical Reaction Engineering and Reactor Design. Instructor in Charge Dr. Omar S.
