Chemical Reaction Engineering (Rietema, K.)

In the Introductory Chemical Reaction Engineering Course

In practice, the issue of mixing and chemical reactions is very important in the economic aspects of chemical reaction engineering. A major priority in industrial reactors is to optimize the yield of desired products. This optimization is a function of reactor geometry, the chemical and physical characteristics of the reacting system, the degree of mixing, and the mode of supplying the reactor ...

Reverse Engineering Chemical Reaction Networks from Time Series Data

The automated inference of physically interpretable (bio)chemical reaction network models from measured experimental data is a challenging problem whose solution has significant commercial and academic ramifications. It is demonstrated, using simulations, how sets of elementary reactions comprising chemical reaction networks, as well as their rate coefficients, may be accurately recovered from ...

Role of Chemical Reaction Engineering in Sustainable Process Development

Chemical Engineering Software and Legal Protection Thereof

In recent years, an increasing number of Chemical Engineering Software (CES), which play an important role in improving efficiency in the petroleum industry, has been introduced to the                market. Generally, software is the product of intellectual creativity, but protection of the intellectual property residing in software is the subject of some controversy.  This paper explores the ...
