Learning activities and teaching methods
unspecified, Stimulating activities (simulation, games, drama)
Learning outcomes
An extension of knowledge in the field of reaction kinetics by parts indispensable for students of Inorganic technology, such as physical processes limiting kinetics of technological chemical processes, kinetics of heterogeneous reactions and principles of reactor calculations.
Graduate of the subject is equipped with knowledge of technical physical chemistry, especially applied reaction kinetics, required at various working positions in chemical industry, research & development, education and other fields of national economy.
Prerequisites
Knowledge of physical chemistry, chemical engineering and mathematics on bachelor level.

Assessment methods and criteria
Oral examination, Written examination

Three calculation tests are written during the term, the course is closed by written test and oral exam. To admit to oral exam it is necessary to succeed in all tests and in written part of exam.
