Using the Chemical Engineering Module in the classroom
Boat reactor for low pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition
The foundation for this module is firmly based upon the theories described in the classic works Transport Phenomena by Bird, Stewart and Lightfoot and Elements in Chemical Reaction Engineering by H. Scott Fogler. It contains, among other things:
- Easy-to-recognize formulations—All equations and boundary formulations are easily recognized by students versed in these and other similar texts
- Predefined modeling interfaces—For laminar, porous-media, compressible, two-phase and turbulent flow. Convective, diffusive and ionic mass transport can be easily modeled along with multicomponent transport, and energy transport
- Seamless integration with the Reaction Engineering Lab—Students can easily enter, analyze, and understand the effects of chemical kinetics in their reacting systems using the Reaction Engineering Lab. They can then export their defined material and energy balances to the Chemical Engineering Module in order to study the effects of spatial dimensions and reactor design
