SPECIAL TOPICS IN CHEMICAL ENGINEERING I
Advanced topics vary from year to year according to interest of students and faculty
ADVANCED CHEMICAL REACTION ENGINEERING
Catalytic reactions, catalyst design, preparation, characterization, heat and diffusional effects in heterogeneous catalytic reactions, multiphase reactors, slurry reactors, trickle bed reactors, fluidized bed reactors, nonideal reactors, modeling real reactors.
LIFE CYCLE ANALYSIS IN CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES
The aim of the course is to aid postgraduate students in becoming environmentally knowledgeable and skilled and dedicated chemical enginners who are willing to work toward achieving and/or maintaining a dynamic equilibrium between chemical engineering practices and the quality of the environment. To meet this end the following topics are covered in the lectures. Depletion and pollution of Earth’s resources. Possible contributions of the chemical engineer toward sustainable chemical technologies and a sustainable biosphere by recycling and utilization of residues and used products-reducing the consumption of resources and energy. Reducing the amount of potential pollutants at source. Use of Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) as a tool for minimizing environmental impact of chemical processes. Various forms of LCA are applied to a number of chemical processes and new LCA techniques are explored.
ADVANCED COURSE IN HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER
