CHEME—Chemical Engineering

  
  • CHEME 7130 - Chemical Kinetics and Transport


         
    Spring. 4 credits. Letter grades only.

    Prerequisite: CHEME 3900  or equivalent.

    N. L. Abbot, S. Daniel.

    Topics include microscopic and macroscopic viewpoints; connections between phenomenological chemical kinetics and molecular reaction dynamics; reaction cross sections, potential energy surfaces, and dynamics of biomolecular collisions; molecular beam scattering; transition state theory. Unimolecular reaction dynamics; complex chemically reacting systems: reactor stability, multiple steady states, oscillations, and bifurcation; reactions in heterogeneous media; and free-radical mechanisms in combustion and pyrolysis.
