1 - 1 of 1 results for: CHEMENG 130A: Microkinetics - Molecular Principles of Chemical Kinetics

This course will cover the basis of chemical kinetics that are used to design chemical processes and reactor design. Topics include: origin of rate expression in chemical reactions; experimental generation and analysis of kinetic data; relationship between kinetic and thermodynamic quantities; concepts of elementary steps and reaction orders; reactions in parallel and in sequence; branched reactions; collision theory and introduction to transition state theory; heterogeneous catalysis and surface reactions; enzymatic catalysis; applications of kinetics. Prerequisite CHEMENG 110B or consent of instructor.
