Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• Imagine, design, implement and operate compounds, products and materials to specific properties and physical, chemical and biochemical solutions/processes leading to obtaining these materials by integrating needs, contexts and issues (technical, economic, societal, ethical, safety and environmental).
• Identify complex problems to be solved and formulate the specifications by integrating client needs, contexts and issues (technical, economic, societal, ethical and environmental).
• Based on modelling, design one or more products/processes/solutions addressing the problem raised; evaluate them in light of various parameters of the specifications.
• Evaluate the approach and results for their adaptation (optimisation, quality, environment, safety/security).
• Mobilise a structured set of scientific knowledge and skills and specialised techniques in order to carry out missions of chemical engineering and materials science, using their expertise and adaptability.
• Analyse and model a problem/process/producing pathway by critically selecting theories and methodological approaches (modelling, calculations), and taking into account multidisciplinary aspects.
• Adopt a professional and responsible approach, showing an open and critical mind in an independent professional development process.
• Show an open and critical mind by bringing to light technical and non-technical issues of analysed problems and proposed solutions.

• Identify complex problems to be solved and formulate the specifications by integrating client needs, contexts and issues (technical, economic, societal, ethical, safety and environmental).
• On the basis of modelling, design one or more projects and solutions addressing the problem raised; evaluate them in light of various parameters of the specifications.
• Evaluate the approach and results for their operation and adaptation (optimisation, quality, environment, security, etc.).
• Mobilise a structured set of scientific knowledge and skills and specialised techniques in order to carry out missions of chemical engineering and materials science, with a focus on chemical industry processes, using their expertise and adaptability.
• Analyse and model a process or way of producing a compound by critically selecting theories and methodological approaches (modelling, calculations), and taking into account multidisciplinary aspects.
• Adopt a professional and responsible approach, showing an open and critical mind in an independent professional development process.
• Show an open and critical mind by bringing to light technical and non-technical issues of analysed problems and proposed solutions.

Learning Outcomes of UE

Select, design, simulate and extrapolate chemical reactors (for various chemical, physico-chemical and thermal constraints).

Content of UE

Modelling different types of reactors (ideally mixed or tubular, continuous, semi-continuous and discontinuous, adiabatic, isothermal and non-adiabatic) ; comparison and choice of reactors ; residence time distributions and simulation of real reactors ; catalytic reactors (rate equations, heat transfer).
