Chemical reactions occur in a variety of different systems and are essential in a number of technological areas including the automotive industry, the chemical and petroleum industries, fuel cell and fuel processing industries, and environmental engineering, The goal of this course is to provide a background in the practical aspects of kinetics, catalysis, and reaction engineering. The fundamentals of catalysis and transport will be applied in the analysis and design of reacting systems.
