CRE X.I Reaction Mechanisms & Pathways
Reaction Kinetics, Mechanisms of Reaction, Catalysis, Diffusion, Adsorption, Catalytic Reactions & More!
Course Description
"Chemical Reactors and Reaction Mechanisms and Catalysis" is an in-depth course focusing on the interplay between reaction mechanisms, catalysis, and reactor design.
Students explore the fundamental concepts of reaction mechanisms and pathways, learning how to establish a Pseudo Steady State Hypothesis and propose chain reaction mechanisms.
The course delves into the role of catalysts and inhibitors in various types of reactions, emphasizing common catalytic reactions such as alkylation, isomerization, hydrogenation, oxidation, and more, prevalent in industrial processes.
Additionally, students examine the general limitations of reaction rates imposed by mass transfer and reaction kinetics, providing a comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing reaction kinetics in chemical reactors.
Through theoretical discussions and practical examples, students develop the skills necessary to analyze and optimize chemical reactions in diverse industrial contexts.

Hi there, I'm Emmanuel Ortega, aka Chemical Engineering Guy...
I've been in the Chemical Industry for about 5 years. I love applying all my knowledge learned in University to the Daily Engineering Life. From working in a Petrochemical Plant as a Process Plant Designer to working with textile material from Polyester Yarns; I could teach you a lot of how it is important to learn the Engineering subjects!
My Expertise:
- Simulation and Optimization of Chemical Processes
- Chemical Process Design
- Plant Design & Operation
- Heat Transfer Operations and Equipment Design
- Separation Technologies
- Automotive & Industrial Polyester Yarn Technologies
- Online Tutoring, Online Education Management
Right now I'm preparing online material for Engineers all over the world. I have a dream in which online education will break all barriers and let Engineers all over the world learn easier and faster! Please join me in my quest!
The Courses I design are entirely dynamic. You will see theory and then apply it ASAP to a real life problem! I even use the books you are using right now in your engineering courses...
I'll see you in class!
