Course content
The subject consist of a few parts: The classification of chemical reaction in term of reaction kinetics and basic kinetics of reaction in the gaseous phase, in solutions, and homogeneous catalysis. The classification of chemical reactors, energy amd mass balance of batch reactor, flow reactors. The analysis of kinetic results. The study of fast reactions( stopped-flow and accelerated-flow methods, relaxation methods, pressure-jump and temperature- jump methods. Kinetics of photochemical reactions.

Learning activities and teaching methods
Work with text (with textbook, with book)
Learning outcomes
The subject acquaints the students with issues regarding chemical reaction in reactors.Schedules ensure the undestanding of chemical reactors and their utilization in the real kinetic studies.
students having finished this course have to solve the complex problems regarding kinetics and chemical reactors.
Prerequisites
Theoretical knowledge of Physical Chemistry (subjects ZFCh, FCH II). Practical knowledge of elementary physical-chemical method.
