Course Description: Analytical solutions of ordinary and partial
differential equations pertaining to transport phenomena and other areas of
chemical engineering.
Course Objectives:
This course is intended to provide the first year graduate student with the
ability to analyze and design chemical reactors. Concepts relating to formulation of reaction
kinetic models and the effects of heat and mass transfer on the overall
chemical reaction are included. Emphasis
is placed on the heterogeneous catalytic reactions and the interaction of
transport and kinetic processes.
Course Content:
Formulation of ODEs.
Solution of Linear ODEs.
Infinite Series Solutions of Linear ODEs.
Gamma and Bessel Functions.
Sturm-Liouville Problems and Orthogonal Functions.
Formulation of PDEs.
Combination of Variables Method for PDEs.
Separation of Variables for PDEs.
Applications to Advanced Transport Phenomena Problems.
